Since our blog debuted in 2017, we have published 500+ posts. While some of you may have been with us from the start (thank you, loyal readers!), others may have joined us more recently.
So, we’re highlighting periodically some of the posts that have garnered a lot of views or that address topics of continuing interest in the current moment — posts that you may have missed or that you might want to revisit.
Today, as Valentine’s Day appears on the horizon, we look back to a popular post from 2019 on “Forbidden Love: The Books English Professors Secretly Love.”
As Dan Hoyt explained, introducing the post,
Sometimes people are surprised by this, but writers and English professors and scholars love all kinds of books. To celebrate St. Valentine’s Day, here are some love letters you might not have expected from our faculty and some Valentine’s Day guests.
Enjoy this glimpse into the bookshelves of English professors, and a happy Valentine’s Day to all!
