And also, in the same week, my (separate) essay on the role of fictional dog doctors in eighteenth-century satire was published in 'Myth and (mis)information', now out with @ManchesterUP. Huge thanks to @helen189 and the other editors!
![Text reads: 'Take Physic, Pomp': Imagining dog doctors in eighteenth-century Britain' followed by a quotation. Now round his grave, ye Mastiffs, scowl,
And let the staunchest Blood-hound howl;
And Oh! thou faithful Spaniel, tear
The weeds that grow his tomb-stone near
[…]
Drive from the spot each puppy swift,
Who here presumes a leg to lift;
For here—Oh! let your growls arise—
Your friend, your great Physician lies!](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GNIYFvCXUAAXXYN.jpg?name=orig)
