The poet and novelist Charlotte Smith deserves far more attention than she currently receives. She influenced many writers of her time. Wordsworth remarked that Smith wrote 'with true feeling for rural nature, at a time when nature was not much regarded by English Poets.'
Today marks the 220th anniversary of the death of Charlotte Turner Smith (1749-1806).

Brewster Kahle of the Internet Archive makes the case for web preservation in The Atlantic. 🌐
In The Internet Needs A Memory, Kahle explains why blocking the Wayback Machine won’t stop AI. It will only make the public record harder to preserve.
