Enfilade

As a follow-up to yesterday’s posting of the call for papers for this year’s meeting in November of the North American Conference of British Studies, I would draw readers’ attention to The British and Irish Studies Intelligencer (BISI), a blog founded in the summer of 2014 under the auspices of the NACBS. While its reach extends well beyond the eighteenth century, for those of you working within the field of British Studies, there will be items of potential interest. A piece from last month, for instance, by Robin Eagles, “John Wilkes the Tourist: Travel in 18th-century England,” occasioned by the publication of Eagles’s edition of The Diaries of John Wilkes 1770–1797 (London Record Society, 2014), addresses not only Wilkes’s travels but underscores the usefulness of his diaries for eighteenth-century travel more generally thanks to the specificity of his notes.

As a member of BISI’s editorial board, I encourage you to have a look at the submissions page, and please feel free to contact me with questions or ideas for contributions. –CH
