WOULD YOU LOOK AT THIS PROGRAMME 🤩 And more excitement to come in 2026 as well. I often get driven to despair about the health of #earlymodern studies because of how it's deemed 'not useful' and 'unpopular in recruitment' and then I see just how much brilliant and varied work we do despite all that

What was John Locke doing, as he eagerly learned about, bought, and read contemporary works of biblical scholarship? My latest article looks at a less familiar side of Locke's life, suggesting it reveals an underappreciated early modern world of 'everyday erudition'. #earlymodern #skystorians

It may look like an Amazon space rocket, but this is in fact the William Tyndale monument. 😛 Quite impressive views of the Severn Estuary from the top. What the Bible translator himself would have made of it, Heaven knows. #earlymodern 🗃️
