Eikhenbaum isn't cooperating, which means that I'm officially having a crappy writing day. This entire half of the dissertation feels like nothing more than a string of crappy writing days. I suppose that my general lack of love for Russian literature at the moment combined with the knowledge that my degree won't be worth much when I'm done isn't helping either. So, I've been procrastinating over at the NYPL Digital Gallery. My favourite collection so far is Anna Atkins' cyanotype impressions of algae. That's what's over on the left.
