In Other Words

Mr. Impossible goes to Yale

March 25, 2010 Loretta Chase

Nerdy History Girl

Susan Holloway Scott

called my attention to

this piece by George Eliot

. 

I know that for some people, all romance novels are "silly novels by lady novelists." 

But I don't care what they say because I'm on a reading list at Yale.  Authors

Lauren Willig

and

Cara Elliott

are teaching a course called "Reading the Historical Romance"— and my very own

Mr. Impossible

is Required Reading!  Which is kind of funny, considering that the hero Rupert is...erm...well, no Einstein.  But there he is, in the hallowed halls of academe. 

That's Lauren on the left and Cara on the right.  And if various schedules can be made to mesh, I'll be meeting their students next month.
