On the Road

“J. & W. Chaplin’s Dover-London Stage on the Road” painted by John Cordrey, c. 1814. (Yale Center for British Art)

Dear Readers,  I apologize for the lull.  I am getting ready for a trip after a few years of staying close to home, and in the hustle and bustle of preparation I just couldn’t find time to finish any posts.  I’m itching to write up a few things I have spent a long time researching, so I hope to have new content here soon after my return, about two weeks hence.

My mode of transport won’t be as slow or as picturesque as the coach depicted above. However,  I will have limited internet access so I won’t be able to moderate comments or read email speedily during that time.  Thanks for your patience and support!
