Hi Laura & all,
<div class="">Thanks for these links. I’d also like to draw people’s attention to Elizabeth Outka’s wonderful book, _Viral Modernism: The Influenza Pandemic and Interwar Literature_ (Columbia UP 2019). It’s not only timely, but is a terrific read—enjoy!</div>
<div class="">Best wishes everyone,</div>

With Belgium under lockdown for the second week now, my colleagues from the KU Leuven Faculty of Arts are looking for ways to find literary resources that explore topics like illness and epidemics from a diversity of angles. They've set up a blog called "Coronameron",
where professors and students have been contributing bits about epidemics in the history of literature. You might enjoy some of the posts (<a href="https://www.arts.kuleuven.be/literatuurwetenschap/coronameron" class="">https://www.arts.kuleuven.be/literatuurwetenschap/coronameron</a>).</div>

I participated with a small piece about Woolf's "On Being Ill". I tried to follow the advice that has circulated on the listserv lately and I foregrounded Woolf's own words rather than trying to burden the text with references and complicated commentary. It
is, of course, just a popularization piece, so don't expect much novelty, but maybe it's a good invitation to revisit the text. Here's the link:</div>
