Our panel proposals on 'Women, Memory and Authority in #EarlyModern English Religious Cultures' have been submitted for the @srsrensoc.bsky.social conference at the @warburginstitute.bsky.social in 2027! Asking how women made the past authoritative, and how remembrance shaped confessional identities

In her introduction @amylidster.bsky.social rarely focuses on Shakespeare and makes a compelling case that the collaborative play Henry VI Part 1 should be considered a serious work separate from the other history plays and has convinced one person it is much better than remembered.

Ahead of the final day of #WSC2026 @wsc2026verona.bsky.social, a moving production of La Bohème at the spectacular Roman arena in Verona. What a special experience - despite the amusing contrast between the snowy sets and the hot weather! #arenadiverona

I had so much fun last Friday travelling down to Oxford to listen to all the amazing talks at the conference "Clio Reframed: Women Writing History, 1500-1750" organised by @amylidster.bsky.social. I got to meet some lovely academics and even encountered a cat on my way home! #earlymodern

#CfP: Clio Reframed: Women Writing History, 1500-1750. Oxford, June 18-19, 2026 Abstracts by Feb 28 '26. Featuring a quintessential quartet of keynotes: @rhetorician.bsky.social, Claire Gheeraert-Graffeuille, @emiliekmmurphy.bsky.social, & Sue Wiseman www.rensoc.org.uk/event/clio-r... #SRS_Sponsored

Clio Reframed aims to explore historical writing and historiography produced by women between the sixteenth and mid-eighteenth centuries, asking why, when and to what purpose and effect women chose different historical subjects as their focus; to situate these texts within their social, religious, political, and textual production contexts, with the aim of expanding our critical understanding of historical writing that often elides the participation of women; and to challenge narratives that homogenize women’s interests in history and their writing strategies. It proposes that women’s historical writing is not an essentially gendered or isolated space in which individual contributions and agendas are uniform. Rather, women’s historical writing is diverse, prevalent, and characterized by relational frameworks and networks, involving other writers, patrons, stationers, and readers.
