Odd topics for articles

Writing articles and conference papers may be my only outlet for really strange (or silly) paper ideas:

• Comets and Astronomical allusions, Defoe, Lady Mary, and the GM
  
• Horses, William of Orange, the Irish, and Swift
  
• Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, Akerman's Jeanne Diehlman, bodies, and resignation
• Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens and George Eliot, early cinema adaptations, realism, and 19C visual media
• Amanuenses as objects or subjects???
  
• ...

I will keep updating this list... None of you anonymous and random readers better steal my embryonic ideas! They're my babies!!!
