Harvard Review Online, from the Archives

A few years ago The Harvard Review published my essay, "Lapponia, " about the death of Descartes in Stockholm one freezing day in winter and about the cross-dressing, soon-to-be-abdicating Queen Christina. HR now has an online presence and has just begun a new feature, "From the Archives," showcasing prose selections from the past ten years. I'm delighted that "Lapponia" is one of two historical essays in this issue. Read it at Harvard Review Online .
