Hello, I’m so happy you are here!
About Me
I’m an English professor at the City University of New York (CUNY) and the author of How Romantics and Victorians Organized Information: Commonplace Books, Scrapbooks, and Albums (Oxford University Press, 2022). I’ve spent the past two decades studying hundreds of notebooks, and I’m excited to share the most interesting, inspiring, and unique notes with you.
Why should I subscribe?
Every week, I’ll send a newsletter focused on a particular note-taker with an overview of their note-taking life, inspiring quotes, archival photos, and meditations on what I’ve learned from their notes. Recent favorites include posts on Beatrix Potter, Eminem, and a history of the daily planner.
Here’s what readers are saying about Noted:
