Exciting news! The CFP for the joint MSA/ BAMS conference in Loughborough next July is out now. Because this is a joint conference in the UK, there are a number of changes to note for MSA members, including the earlier deadline (Dec. 1) for papers, panels, workshops, etc. More details at the link!

This is a fascinating piece in modernist periodical studies, and for me a timely one. Lately I’ve been reading the early Gasoline Alley comic strips, and one storyline centers on all the characters becoming obsessed with the new crossword puzzle fad.

Congratulations! 💙 Also, I love the reference to the book by the wondrous master, Ernst Haeckel.
