The theme of this week is urban. Been busy with preparing classes in the past few weeks. Now I am coming back to my hobby, reading scholarly articles, which is great fun to me. Here is a list of the articles I have in hand, some of which remind me of going back to Edward H. Parker (when he was in Liverpool and Manchester, the two great industrial cities of Victorian England) and Kelly & Walsh (W. Brewer as well), and the solitary days in Manchester.
