The best thing in the presentation was the teaser photo of Johnny Depp. And I thought the same thing, "how can pirates be boring?" But this job talker somehow managed it. (I should add that it was about pamphlets on pirates--a literature talk, not history per se.)<br /><br />I hope you find interest in your pirates soon, and readability is always a good direction to go.

So if I shoot for "sister-in-law", I should end somewhere in the middle.<br /><br />I just figure that if even *I'm* not finding it compelling, something needs to be done.

A few thoughts:<br />-- dissertation books are rarely page turners: they prove we can do it. Even Lepore's dissertation book is heavy going.<br />--papers need to be interesting to colleagues, not to sisters-in-law. In fact you might want to think as the articles as more scholarly, the book as more accessible. <br /><br />Get the draft done first before trashing it for readability.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09716705206734059708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648409483330236099.post-62005256999120695802012-09-19T20:14:54.415-07:002012-09-19T20:14:54.415-07:00My adviser consistently gives me the same writing ...My adviser consistently gives me the same writing notes, which drive me crazy but always lead me to vastly improved revisions.<br /><br />1.

Because I think academic writing intended for scholars (of Blargistan, say) is often not that exciting to a general audience. And Lepore is in U.S. history, which has a larger built-in general audience in the U.S. than anything else does.<br /><br />Also, I happen to think pirates are highly overrated in the popular mind. It doesn't actually surprise me that historical pirates are not that exciting. :)clio's disciplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640279322691564414noreply@blogger.com
