Thanks to @fabiociambella.bsky.social for a fabulous talk this evening about the Old Measures at the Inns of Court, and links between dance and early modern drama. Many people working in dance history might find his work on OMIC useful (clare.dlls.univr.it/omic/).

Really pleased to see my article "The Temporality of the Early Modern English Almanac" out in the HLQ It discusses how almanac owners annotated, contradicted, ripped up, and reused these ubiquitous but odd books, and what these behaviours reveal about their sense of time muse.jhu.edu/article/944186

Title: The Temporality of the early modern English Almanac 
Author: Catherine Evans 
Abstract: This article explores the place that almanacs held in early modern English culture, offering evidence of how they shaped practices of time keeping and history writing. During a period in which the calendar was a site of religious discord and political debate, did the printed time of the almanac act as a regularizing force? How was history writing used to shape local and national identity in
both England and New England colonies? Did the ephemeral nature of the almanac make time less valuable? Drawing on evidence from the previously unstudied annotated almanacs in the Huntington Library and the Beinecke Library, this article attends to the ways in which the time of the almanac was personalized and multitemporal. By focusing on traces of book use, the article examines the symbiotic relationship between readers and their books, arguing that the materiality of texts both reveals and shapes patterns of thought.

It is so exciting to share this cfp publicly (as it has, of course, been in the works for a while). It should be a great conference! Please share with anyone you think might be interested.
