Hi,
We hope you might be interested in Journal•Lists, a free subscription service for reading historical fiction, periodicals, and diaries in e-instalments. It’s designed to be both an educational resource for students, to facilitate reading historical works in small doses, as well as a fun experiment in reading for anyone interested in literature.
Journal•Lists is a new way of reading historical works of literature and non-fiction. Journal•Lists is a free subscription service that delivers you email instalments of periodicals, diaries, and serialised novels on the days they were originally written or published. It is designed to recapture the process of reading in instalments that was a key part of the reading experience in the 18th and 19th centuries. It also offers a new way of reading diaries and letters that encourages a closer connection with their authors’ daily lives. Use Journal•Lists as an incentive to read something new in manageable doses, or as a way of re-engaging with a favourite book.
The first Journal•List goes live on 14 August with James Boswell’s Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson: sign up and receive each entry of Boswell’s diary on the anniversary of the day it was written.
Upcoming Journal•Lists include The Spectator and Lord Byron’s Ravenna journal. Go to www.journallists.wordpress.com to find out more.
