The Tweetable Doctorate

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."

Feel free to add yours in the comments.

I don't have a PhD, but I could write some summaries of theses I have read. The authors would not always like them.
