A journal, commonplace book, and Wunderkammer by Alan Jacobs. My blog
on technologies of reading, writing, and knowledge is called Text
Patterns; I am an occasional contributor to the Technology channel of
The Atlantic; I’m a Contributing Editor for The New Atlantis. Also,
I tweet. My biography of the Book of Common Prayer has now been
published by Princeton University Press, and I’ve created an
associated tumblelog. My critical edition of W. H. Auden’s long poem
For the Time Being: A Christmas Oratorio is now available. I invite
you to a meditative encounter with my online project The Gospel of the
Trees. Please consider supporting this tumblelog by buying some of my
books. I will thank you, my family will thank you, and the internet
— surely — will thank you. ”Reverting to Type: a Reader’s
