Hello, scholars, old and new. We presume that, after this first week of classes, you are settling into your routine nicely. If not, we hope that the (relative) regularity of the Weekly Round-Up helps to set you at ease. We’ll always be here for you, Corelings. Or at least until the author graduates. Who knows […]

Welcome back to campus, scholars! We missed you so, so much. So much that we planned many events to spend some time with you. (More on that later.) For now, here are the (belated) weekly links. Plagued by pre-semester anxiety? Well, that’s nothing to be ashamed of. A gentle pug has some words of encouragement […]

Greetings, scholars! Nervous about the approaching semester? Never fear! Our Core authors will always stand beside you, forever creeping into your mind whenever you try to write papers and complete assignments for other classes. (On their behalf, we’re sorry.)

O Corelings, how we pine for you in the air-conditioned, quiet, peanut butter pretzel-stocked Core office. You know, you’re welcome to visit us, alumni and incoming freshmen included. (CAS 119!) In the meantime, here are this week’s links. This weekend, catch Brown Box Theatre Project’s production of Hamlet in nearby Allston at a formerly abandoned […]

Hello, scholars! Today we look at some sizzling hot takes, looted and fairly acquired art, and more. Read on: Love the book, hate the fanfare: Associate professor of English at Montclair State University and The Atlantic contributor Patricia A. Matthew discusses her mixed feelings on Jane Austen, her work, and the admiration the author often […]
Oh hello, scholars. This week we take a look at some dead people heads, share some relationship advice, and offer an Instagram account to spice up your feed. Read on! Over at Stanford University, celebrations of the 200-year anniversary of Jane Austen’s death continue as a professor and two doctoral students take a look at […]
Scholars? Is that you? Sorry, we can’t see so well in this blinding sun that has been so persistent this week. Not that we’re complaining (actually, we are; we are book-dwellers who screech when exposed to the light of the sun). Anyway, here are the weekly links. The MoMA has released a digital exhibition of […]
Hellooooo Corelings! This week we look at memes, some sweet maps of Hell, and the Core Journal, again, because every work in there is worth your time (the author is definitely not saying that because she is a frequent contributor). Fun fact: Did you know the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Tao Te Ching, and works […]
Greetings Corelings old and new, just born and one foot in the grave. Even those Core animals, of which there are many. Gather ’round for this week’s installment of news and articles of interest! On this day: Artemesia Gentileschi was born today, July 8, in 1593. Read about her life and art in a piece […]
