Is there an etiquette for asking if the publications listed on a Google Scholar profile _actually belong to that scholar_ without suggesting that they're either lazy or that the misrepresentation is intentional? I'm surprised there isn't a "flag" button of some kind.

#earlymodern peeps! The good folks at UVic HCMC have created a static version of the Cambridge Edition of the Works of Ben Jonson Online, so this major work of scholarship remains ACCESSIBLE AND FREE. We're also working to remediate the editions themselves into the @lemdo-uvic.bsky.social ecosystem.

Striking while the iron is hot, we wrote a piece for The Conversation #earlymodern theconversation.com/who-called-s...

Who called Shakespeare ‘upstart crow’? Our study points to his co-author, Thomas Nashe
Perhaps he intended to denigrate Shakespeare as a jack-of-all-trades player-turned-playwright who should have stuck to acting.

'Upstart Crow' - who insulted Shakespeare, and why?
New research has cast fresh doubt on the origins of one of the most famous insults aimed at William Shakespeare, pointing the finger at a friend of the Bard.
