@Economicbotany This six-week online course on Country Houses and the British Empire looks like it would be great, based on previous lectures from @corinne_fowler. I hope I can make time for it.

@ajspadial What made you remember?

Giving up on Defeated on Netflix after two episodes. Too dark, too violent, too one-dimensional.
