 > Hello Everyone,
 > 
 > First: I want to share some bad but important news: my laptop was stolen
 > yesterday during our "move out" yard sale.

 > This means that you may receive a malicious email from "me" in the next few
 > days. Please do not open any attachments to emails coming from this
 > address. I have changed passwords and taken other precautions. I hope
 > nothing happens, but you never know. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.
 > 
 > Second: The slide deck for the lecture on Middlemarch's legacy in
 > television and film is gone with my laptop. I'm writing from my husband's
 > computer now. So I will be doing something more traditional for our last
 > class. (Unfortunately, the slide deck for last week's lecture is gone too.
 > I had wanted to attach a slide from that one.)
 > 
 > Third: My plan had always been to leave plenty of time for discussion for
 > our last class. We could easily talk about the novel as a whole for days!!
 > Anyway, there are a few "big picture" questions/topics that may help you
 > organize your thoughts for discussion, spark questions to pose to the
 > class, and/or remind you of striking moments.
 > 
 > Speaking of striking moments: here is a link to Dan Stevens reading
 > <https://youtu.be/rgSaiIaPeZw> the scene between Dorothea and Will in
 > chapter 82. Perhaps what is most striking about his reading is how he makes
 > a scene that can come off as a bit over-done on the page sound so natural,
 > almost modern.
