Hello. My name is Alan Jacobs. I am Distinguished Professor of Humanities in the Honors Program at Baylor University, and a Senior Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture at the University of Virginia.

My new book is Dorothy L. Sayers: Works and Days. As I write, it is supposed to be out but is intermittently available and some people (including me) are being told that the wait time for a copy is close to two months. You may order it at the Oxford University Press website and at Amazon. I hope you have better luck than I have.

My most recent already-published book is Paradise Lost: A Biography — an entry in this series. You may order it at the Princeton University Press website or at Amazon.

You can find a mostly-complete list of my books here.

On micro.blog I post quotes, images, and (usually) quick thoughts, and I have an ever-ramifying long-term online project called Cosmos Malick. I have no truck with platforms; I am on the open web. Never forget: Indie Web Is Punk.

You may subscribe to a weekly digest of my micro.blog posts — I link there to everything I post elsewhere (at least, when I remember). I put a good deal of time and effort into my online writing, and am therefore very grateful when when readers support that work via my Buy Me a Coffee page.

If you would like to invite me to speak, first of all Thank you, but I am no longer doing public speaking, for reasons I explain here.

Here are a few essays I’ve published in the past few years that seem to me central to my thinking, such as it is:
