The Tweetable Doctorate

[steepholm]

A Facebook friend has taken this widely-shared post in which science PhDs were invited to give "dumbed-down" versions of their PhD theses, and suggested that humanities people might try something similar. A good idea, and I thought people here might enjoy it too. Here's mine:

"Sometimes Spenser makes his ideas act like people, sometimes he makes his people act like ideas. It's not always easy to tell the difference."

What a lovely idea, and I've enjoyed reading all the comments :-) Many years ago, as a procrastination exercise, I turned mine into a haiku, so you can have that:

The Mythical Wars
Are not like the Persian ones:
It's all more complex.

That's a nice variation on the form!
