Kicking off our #TudorAntwerp conference with a keynote lecture of renowned book historian @apettegree.bsky.social! No better start for our #earlymodern #bookhistory conference in this wonderful historical setting 💙📚📜

Some fabulous discoveries here from the National Library in Edinburgh.

Greetings @cathfletcher.bsky.social and @apettegree.bsky.social I've been traveling in New Zealand and I thought you might be happy to hear that not only are your new books on sale here, they are next to each other in the shop's front window at Scorpio books in Christchurch.

We are delighted to unveil the provisional programme for our upcoming conference on Newspapers and Periodicals, organised by @zbrookman.bsky.social, @apettegree.bsky.social and Arthur der Weduwen, which will take place on 17 June and from 19-21 June 2025. #USTC25

In this order: USTC, KVV, followed by VD16-18. Good luck

With so many new followers, I guess it's time for an updated #introduction: Hi there! I am an #earlymodern historian with a weak spot for all things communication and media. My next book is about news flows. Here is a photo of me sitting silent next to books. Most used #: #bookhistory 🗃️ #skystorians

What an incredible and productive week we have had at the @gladlib.bsky.social ! Loads of annotations achieved, a huge chunk of Introduction drafted. Still loads to do mind, but very happy already about the achievements of the ’eldest daughters editing club’.

My article on 'The Popular Politics of Local Petitioning' has now been published in the latest issue of @jbritishstudies.bsky.social! #OpenAccess here: www.cambridge.org/core/journal... I've also added it to the #PowerOfPetitioning bibliography: petitioning.history.ac.uk/2019/05/13/p...

Coffee, anyone? The year is 1761 and this boy is carefully serving coffee to the workers in an #earlymodern print shop. (1/2)

Sinclair Lewis's brilliant book, published in 1935, imagines what happens when the United States drops FDR in favour of a populist. Well worth a read in these troubled times.
