I have somehow made mistakes twice before as I've posted this list. Apologies, but here it is again... in its full and proper form.

The deadline is tomorrow! #EarlyModern

So today I'm centering Teresa of Avila. Not particularly surprising, but I also think we haven't quite fully appreciated her as a remarkably *mobile* and influential leader of a reformed movement. Which leads me to ask, what is the best work on the #earlymodern spread of the discalced Carmelites?

Just created a starter pack for people interested in early modern women! Somewhat random and definitely incomplete, so please suggest more people to add (including yourself) go.bsky.app/Cqqbspt

I have created a starter pack for scholars of the long seventeenth century! I will be adding to it; do comment or message if you would like to be added - & share! go.bsky.app/BtkNcRq
