Whoa! What a generous #earlymodern resource!

Was listening to a talented young #earlymodern scholar talking about their book 📕 yesterday, when they said that the hardest part of the project was not the ambitious archival work but the numerous other scholars constantly telling them ‘it can’t be done.’ Could we not do this anymore please? 🙏

Thank you very much to all who have submitted abstracts. We have received many excellent submissions and are excited to start working on the programme soon. If you work on violence or conflict and you haven't submitted yet, remember this is the final week to send us your abstracts! 🗡️⬇️ #earlymodern

Miliband knows the actual body language of power. None of that uncomfortably wide leg spread the Tories got into, but the #earlymodern elbow.

Was really hard to get 'back to work' from all the local elections hustle and bustle, but here I am revising a chapter on depictions of Janissaries in #earlymodern English travel writing (horribly overdue, sorry editors...this is rare for me). If you have any leads on recent literature, do tell me.

So are any other #GreenParty members or candidates from Sussex here on BlueSky? I represent the @chi-arungreenparty.bsky.social myself but would be nice to share others thoughts (and statements).

For all of those people who keep saying singular they is a modern thing: I'm looking at a manuscript (mostly ritual magic) from the early 1600s with this line: "Whosoever shall carye thes names of god about them, neede not to feare the perell of water, fyre or inchauntment, evel ende or enemie".
