Sparks flew! Thanks so much to @mginotherwords.bsky.social for guiding me on the path. Happy to share this big essay ‘Stephan Batman’s Peculiar Ways & the Parkerian Scribe of Pierce the Plowman’s Crede’. Maria Giovanna pointed out that Batman’s initials are *not* in TCC R.3.14 Piers Plowman

Thank you for this! I have somehow selected the most virtuous group of folks on this platform and wanted instead to see something beautiful. Nice 👌

I did for medieval (I think). Will go looking for Swifties now 👍🏼

Every time I’ve logged into Bluesky my feed is 1) someone reposting 10 things followed by 2) every NYT piece of the last hour. I’ve unfollowed NYT but is there a way to get variety here?

In case you’re interested here’s a portion of my photo of the document, a bit closer than we can get at the BL

Lawrence Warner @lawrencewarner.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

I’m sorry —I just like talking about this document , as do my students (who compared it to songs by Taylor, the Kinks, Chappell Roan etc) and didn’t realize it came across as a fight. I genuinely wonder what was going on in the mayor’s court’s minds. It’s an amazing document and I’m glad you agree

Lawrence Warner @lawrencewarner.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

But sodomy was not the purview of the Mayor’s Court—that would have been ecclesiastical. And why was Britby not there too? No, nothing about it is clear to you or to anyone, as the document is baffling all around and to repeat we have no idea what happened next

Lawrence Warner @lawrencewarner.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

But again all I’m saying is that we don’t know. Imagination is all there is re what happened next

Lawrence Warner @lawrencewarner.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

Well it’s not even clear what the prompt was. Cross-dressing alone? Prostitution? Neither seems sufficient—and why the City? It’s all very odd. I don’t see why they would keep her.

Lawrence Warner @lawrencewarner.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

Probably. We just don’t know either way though as the document doesn’t say. ‘Arrest’ is not quite the right word either

Lawrence Warner @lawrencewarner.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

Though could be the same . In any case no evidence that Eleanor was imprisoned in 1395 for this

Lawrence Warner @lawrencewarner.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

Oh that essay. Thanks —Goldberg also thinks the whole thing might be fictional. He’s inventing this stuff …

Lawrence Warner @lawrencewarner.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

Just think Eleanor is awesome enough to make sure we get her dates right 👍🏼

Lawrence Warner @lawrencewarner.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

We all wonder and no there are no records

Lawrence Warner @lawrencewarner.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

Not born 1395… the document refers to an event December 1394

100

Lawrence Warner @lawrencewarner.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

The document wasn’t written under duress at all—it is an official account . Not Rykener’s direct testimony

Lawrence Warner @lawrencewarner.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

And where does the ‘may have escaped’ the supposed imprisonment in 1399 thing come from?

Has it been determined whether the men’s fashion guy, dieworkwear, is on this platform?

I'm learning the ropes here. Can you - my respected and small number of followers- share this post so I can get some followers? I am an academic interested in reproductive history + environmental history, museum and archive collections, animals, people, plants & planet. And, who should I follow?

Did everyone spot that Maureen Duffy’s *Gor Saga*, basis for Mimi-series *First Born* starring Charles Dance, is set for re-release later this month? 😊
