About Me

I am a mere painstaking borrower and grubworm of a poor devil of a sub-sub librarian...otherwise known as a PhD research student. This blog is a record of my experiences as a postgraduate in English Literature at a UK university, with a research interest in science and culture. When not staring at books, I stare down the viewfinder of my camera as a keen photographer. Often with less pleasure, I also blog on politics and the environment.

This blog is written in a personal capacity, and any opinions or ideas expressed do not necessarily reflect those of any institutions or organisations to which I am affiliated.

You can find out more about me on the About This Site page.

Online Text Databases and the Literary Canon

Electronic texts can disguise the categorical markers found in their physical counterparts, eliminating many of the paratextual features which position a work within a particular tradition of authorship and readership and enabling the new reader to approach with fewer preconceptions: with the bland egalitarianism of vanilla plain text, there is no such thing as a popular edition or a prestige hardback.

Chromasia

Wednesday, June 29, 2005

As featured by the BBC and Time Magazine, the Chromasia website is an exemplary photo blog. Often featuring images from around Blackpool, it casts an area I (unfortunately) know well in a new and beautiful light: the colourful neon of the fair, storm clouds rolling off the sea, stunning sunsets, the cast of blue over beach. Technically perfect, and artistically innovative, with a lively readership and owner offering comments which help to educate the viewer in how to take better photographs, visit the site now, and you will want to go back every day.
