Yes, it’s a crummy picture. Blame the photographer (me) and the weather, but this is Emily Dickinson’s house in #Amherst #Massachusetts and Dickinson wrote her #poems behind that window at the upper left.

19C Americanists: I'm looking for more crossdressing plots. I already know about:

Female Review
Life and Extraordinary Adventures of Mary Lacy
The Female Wanderer
Life, Travels and Extraordinary Adventures of Elizabeth M’Dougald
Sketch of the Life of Elizabeth Emmons, or the Female Soldier
The Friendless Orphan
The Afflicted and Deserted Wife
Fanny Campbell, the Female Pirate Captain
Life and Sufferings of Miss Emma Cole
Amelia Somers, the Orphan
Cordelia Krats
Castine
Virginia Graham, the Spy of the Grand Army
Chip the Girl Sport
Cooper’s Jack Tier
Winthrop’s Cecil Dream
Southworth’s The Hidden Hand
Edmond’s Nurse and Spy (aka Unsexed of the female solider
Valezquez’s Woman in Battle

What am I missing?

(Not looking for news reports about trans people or people who crossdressed)

#19C #AmLit #TransStudies

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).
