I briefly mentioned that I’ve started a PhD with Greenwich Uni where I’ll be looking at female gardeners and environmentalists in the long 19th century. Who are the best people to follow here into that topic? Any ideas? #history #victorian #19C #gardening #gardeners #environment 🌱

How to choose some fresh NON-relational Databases for our enterprises and customers when facing diverse databases types? Actually this is not easy to answer the question ... As well-known as @oracledatabase firstly brought up the concept of converged database on the version #19c and then entirely achieves the corresponding functions, in other words, starts supporting multiple-model databases to perfectly converge them into one oracle database product, which meets the variety of requirement of enterprise and customer.

Here's brief introduction lnkd.in/gitfDcp7 from #MariaColgan but you probably prefer to see the interesting video as below. 🙃

What should I write next?

The first two topics I covered for my stationery in Sherlock Holmes series were the ones that most interested me: notebooks & the index.

Which topic should I choose next? (Please keep in mind that this is a long-term and intermittent series; it may be some time before the next post goes up.)

Vladimir Nabokov's tiny Berlin mystery 'The Eye' is an incel Sherlock Holmes (and Victor Hugo's 'Les Misérables isn't).

A montage of two black and white photographs used at different sizes. One of 20th Century Russian-American novelist Vladimir Nabokov used very small and one of 19th Century French novelist Victor Hugo, much bigger. The words 'authors to scale' in brackets at bottom left. Two arrows labelled 'Victor' and 'Vladimir'

As part of the big house declutter (a long project to precede the BIG MOVE next year, I finally unboxed all my copies of the Lady’s Magazine and found them a home). #ladysmagperiodicals #rarebooks #18c #19c

Two shelves of eighteenth and nineteenth candiru periodicals. Combination of original and modern bindings.

c18.masto.host remains open to new members with an interest in the #18thcentury!

I started this instance on 1 Nov. 2022 in order to establish a home for colleagues in interdisciplinary global #18c studies (with many neighbors joining from #17c and #19c). We had a big push of new members in November and December, along with a donation drive to cover server costs. Early this year, many created placeholder accounts but were not yet ready to dive in. As the community grows, I hope they return!

#BelAmi fertig gelesen, und die gesellschaftlichen Eliten können froh und dankbar sein, dass jemand vom Kaliber #Maupassant (oder #Flaubert oder #Zola) weit und breit nicht zu sehen ist. Oder heute nicht schreibt, sondern was anderes macht. Das könnte tatsächlich auch sein. #Literatur #Realismus #Naturalismus #19c

„mais, comme il éprouvait une peine infinie à découvrir des idées, il prit la spécialité des déclamations sur la décadence des mœurs, sur l’abaissement des caractères, l’affaissement du patriotisme et l’anémie de l’honneur français.“ — Das ist von 1885, aus #BelAmi von #Maupassant. Und das beschreibt den Alltag eines deutschen Feuilletonhengstes 2023 sehr gut.

#BelAmi einfach auch sehr interessanter Roman über das französische Pressewesen und den intrinsischen Zusammenhang mit politischer und ökonomischer Manipulation.

Today I am writing about the myriorama, a #19c parlor amusement that took the form of a box of cards imprinted with bits of scenery. The idea was that one could rearrange the cards to form ever new landscapes, & from 16 cards, it was said, obtain 20,922,789,999,000 variations.

5 cards from a set of cards forming a myriorama, showing a green hilly landscape with trees and pastoral people. On the second card there’s a horse-drawn wagon. On the 4th card is a church with gravestones around it.

Mit dem zweiten Erzählungsband von #Maupassant durch, La Maison Tellier. Ich mochte das sehr, gerade weil das eine sehr wilde Mischung ist. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ . Ich habe eine Open Source eBook-Ausgabe gelesen, aber die gab es auf Goodreads nicht.

Hello new followers. I'm a PhD candidate in 19C AmericanLiterature, Book History, and Trans Studies at #UIUC. My dissertation is about how the material aspects of the book--from the binding to the typography--contributed to the formation of white cisheternomativity as a "natural" default by the end of the century. I post about #bookhistory, #19C #AmLit, #TransStudies and other trans stuff, #letterpress printing and #BookArts. You can also expect posts about my dog Arlo and occasionally about my cats Matzah Ball and No.44 New Series 864,962 (IYKYK).

Ok, I should be working on a tenure review today, but instead am going down internet rabbit-holes. The latest involves a collection of #scrapbooks kept by the students of #AmherstCollege in the late #19c, a young man named William Belcher Whitney included. Here is an esp strange & imho creepy page, on which he's arranged into a heart shape the hairpins he's collected from his acquaintance at #MtHolyoke. There's a great discussion of this book on the Amherst Special Collections blog, ca 2012.

Page in a scrapbook: at the center, hairpins have been sewn onto it so as to form a heart shape, and  names (of their owners?) are written inside each pin.  There are larger pins at the top and bottom of the page, the one at the top having a red ribbon tied in a box affixed to it.

#Stendhal introduces Lucien Leuwen in the first paragraph as a student who gets expelled from the Polytechnique for "taking a walk at the wrong time" (during the April/June rebellion 1832 or 1834). I love the irony of that opening & always assumed he really just went for a walk. Now I fear that "taking a walk" could be 19c code for participating in protests & that the opening paragraph isn't as good as I thought. #literature #France #19c
