Ever since I finished my PhD way back in1979 I’ve had a book on the go, but now as I’m just finishing off a little Element on early modern women and almanacs I find myself looking into a book abyss and can’t think of any future big project. Maybe I need to crowd source an idea…

#earlymodern delighted that the next Emmerson fellow will be Marie-Louise Coolahan following on from Danielle Clarke and earlier on Sue Wiseman what a stellar bunch. If you’d like to know more about the fellowship fell free to contact me or the wonderful SLV librarian Anna Welch

#earlymodern always a treat to write about Frances Wolfreston’s almanacs in the context of blanks, standing on the shoulders of Morgan, Newcomb, and Lindenbaum. Such a privilege having been able to work with them and the myriad other almanacs at the Bodleian.

#earlymodern Writing about blanks in almanacs and how they are annotated and especially love this tortoise appearance (this is a 1649 Lilly almanac in the Emerson Collection)

#earlymodern so sad to hear of the death of Betty Hageman a pioneer scholar of early modern women’s writing and a generous soul; I was so grateful for her kindness when I had a short term fellowship at the Folger — the folger should name a chair in the readingroom in her honour.

I’m writing a slightly narrowly focused essay on Mary Wroth ‘s last two poems (really one poem) in Urania 2 and am wondering where to send it. It would be right for Sidney Journal but I’ve published there recently. Any suggestions?

I am 72 and have had my fair share of academic ups (and quite a few downs eg redundancy) but missing out on both the fellowships I applied for this year does hurt I hope they went to ECRs especially the big one. #earlymodern

#earlymodern anyone know of a bed trick that failed. I’ve checked all the plays in Dessens list and can’t find one I’d love to know if there is the equivalent of Angelo appearing on stage yelling ‘that’s not Isabella!’.

#earlymodern does anyone have access to the mysteriously almost invisible William Halstead’s Shakespeare as Spoken vol 4 . I’m interested in 19 th century cuts to All’s Well but can’t ask interlibrary loans for it unless I have page references

Excellent medieval/early modern round table yesterday on beds during which we learnt how sinful it is for dogs to be on one’s bed. I guess I am going to Hell unless cat cancels out dog.

Let us all bow down before Elaine Hobby who persuaded CUP to undertake this massive compete Behn project. I’m not sure that just being on the editorial board means I deserve this handsome volume but I am so delighted to have it ; two down only six to go.

#earlymodern I was lucky enough to be taught by Harold love and one of his golden rules was always go back to the original source so it did take all day yesterday to find the bit of Malone quoted by Schoenbaum and it was worth it not because Schoenbaum misquoted I hasten to say.

I think I only have one more handbook/companion essay left in me. Have always been grateful to have been taken by surprise by the inimitable Andrew Hadfield who asked me to write about early modern essays when everyone else was asking me to write about early modern fiction
