We have been inspired to create this series following the popularity on Twitter of the \u2018OnThisDay\u2019 hashtag. We want to present a catalogue of #OnThisDay blog posts that relate to events happening exactly 200 years ago. The premise of the blog is to give readers a snapshot of 1818 in 2018 (and on into 2019 and beyond!), relevant to that month or even that particular day. The series is also a part of <a href=\"https:\/\/romantics200.org\/event\/on-this-day-bars-blog-series\/\">#Romantics200<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to get a feel of this series is to read our excellent posts from past contributors. You can see all the posts <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/?cat=17\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions or would like to make an informal enquiry about writing for us, <strong>please get in touch with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/annamercer_\">Anna Mercer<\/a> (BARS Blog Editor)<\/strong>: <a href=\"mailto:mercerannam@gmail.com\">mercerannam@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The British Association for Romantic Studies (BARS) is looking for contributors to write for our blog: an online collection of news\/notices and longer posts, all of which celebrate and promote&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/?p=1979\">Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1979"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1979"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1979\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1981,"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1979\/revisions\/1981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
