My paper on depictions of Nablus in British travel journals and books during the 1800's should be done soon. I'll post excerpts soon since I'm really excited about how it's turning out. It may also end up being one of the funniest papers I've written as well, since I can't wait to write the section covering this British dude who got robbed in Nablus around 1890 and proceeded to whine about it for 10+ pages in his book in the most Orientalist manner possible.
I also want to try and post some of the old maps of Syria and Palestine from the 19th century I keep pulling out of these books. I would like to scan them and make them pdf files, but I think they're just too big. I'll get them in here somehow though.
