Introduction: I have written about and am still interested in #MaryToft #JonathanSwift #AlexanderPope #DanielDefoe #WilliamByrdII #IndenturedServitude #Slavery. I recently finished a book ms. on William Byrd and slavery in early Virginia that will come out in June. Taught over thirty years at Georgetown University but now retired and living in #Berkeley, where I am raising an extraordinarily traumatized but lovable dog.
