I started a web years ago as a place to put things online for my classes. Since then I’ve published occasional pieces and sometimes reprinted things that had been published elsewhere. In 2007 I reorganized these pages, added a blog, and in doing so removed some information from this page (which used to be the front page). If you need my address and phone numbers you can find them here on my old UNT page. Just click on the thumbnail above. I can also be reached as longjulian@gmail.com

I’ve often sifted through the blog for one reason or other and discovered stylistic inconsistencies and anomalies. I recall promising to correct such things, perhaps more than once. I now revoke any and all such promises. You Tube videos that have disappeared, links that have broken, as well as the occasional unreadable symbol, must stand as they are. I do not think these anomalies are inappropriate in an archive.

I’ve disabled comments on all blog posts now, since I am more or less abandoning the blog; though I’ve not removed comments that are already there. Posts formerly allowed comments for 90 days, but since these pages are now permanent, comments are less appropriate than they once were. My Great Books page was mostly for my students, but since I am now entirely retired and since the page contains material that might interest others as well, I have revised it and left it here. If anybody is interested, there’s also a link to my Great Books syllabus on my “about . . .” page.
