Last week I signed an advance contract to publish Transatlantic Literary Ecologies with Ashgate Publishing. I’m co-editing this collection of essays with my friend John Miller, a lecturer in Victorian literature at the University of Sheffield. John and I have assembled a team of twelve contributing authors from Canada, the UK, and the USA, each of whom will be providing a chapter for the book. We plan to submit a draft of the full book manuscript to the press in February of next year.
