  • Group Conversations Consisting of Essays, Threads and Various Postings on Fanny Burney's novels and memoirs.
  • Fanny Is Us: While this piece of writing is now a formal published essay, it was originally written in the form of a posting to C18-l during a debate on the merits of Fanny Burney in which list-members offered to the list's consideration some candidates as one of the most significant eighteenth-century woman writers of the second millenium.
  • On First Encountering Fanny Burney d'Ablay. While this piece of writing is also now a formal published essay, it too was originally conceived in the form of a posting to Janeites, a small list of fans and scholars of Austen on Yahoo.com; the then editor of The Burney Letter, whom I knew from C18-l, asked me to polish and edit it for publication after particating in a group read of Cecilia led by Jill Spriggs and me on Austen-l.
  • On Reading Divergent Fanny Burney d'Arblays . The Burney Letter has also published an essay I wrote about a group conversation held on EighteenthCentury about Fanny Burney's journals and letters.
• From Austen-l, Janeites, and Trollope-l:
  • Essays in the Form of Postings to Listservs on Epistolarity in Specific Novels, Chapters of Novels, and Short Stories
