Join me as I consider some possibilities for personal reading projects that I might start in 2026.
0:00 Intro
02:18 My Eudora Welty read-through, started during Bookukkah, will be continuing sporadically throughout the year.
03:39 A deep dive into Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, appearing in June—“June Eyre”…
04:29 19th-century American literature, especially by New England authors such as Emily Dickinson, Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Louisa May Alcott, Nathanial Hawthorne, and Herman Melville.
05:48 Modernists, especially Virginia Woolf
06:57 Early Modern Lit:
The Fairie Queene with Cait @therenaissanceacademic
Paradise Lost with @GlutenbergBible
10:14 Chaucer, at least partly in the original, using the dual text put together by Sheila Fisher.
12:00 Women Translating Classics, starting with several translations of Gilgamesh, Caroline Alexander’s translation of The Iliad by Homer, Emily Wilson’s translation of Homer’s Odyssey, and Erin Cline’s forthcoming translation of The Analects by Confucius.
16:08 Essays—possibly including a weekly or monthly feature?
