#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.

📣 Upcoming Lansdowne public lecture! 📣 In "Renaissance Botany and the Landscapes of Early Printed Books," LEMDO General Textual Editor Dr. Sarah Neville will be speaking on English herbals of the 16th-17th C. 🌱🌿📚 Date: Monday, March 10 Time: 7 pm Where: Clearihue Building A207 Cost: Free!
Poster for Dr. Sarah Neville's talk.

Text reads: Renaissance herbals—sixteenth and seventeenth century printed guides to plants, herbs, and trees, sometimes beautifully illustrated—were among the best-sellers in their time. Yet, the most popular of these books were the least likely to survive readers, making them paradoxically obscure. This talk will explore the phenomenon of the English herbal, showing how botanical knowledge in print came to be seen as a valuable commodity that early modern readers were eager to buy.

Dr. Neville is jointly appointed in English and in Theatre, Film, and Media Arts at Ohio State University. She specializes in early modern English literature, bibliography, theories of textuality, and Shakespeare in performance, chiefly examining the ways that authority is negotiated in print, digital and live media. She is an Assistant Editor of the New Oxford Shakespeare (2016-17), Co-Coordinating editor of the Digital Renaissance Editions and the New Internet Shakespeare Editions, and General Textual Editor for Linked Early Modern Drama Online. Neville’s latest book, Early Modern Herbals and the Book Trade: English Stationers and the Commodification of Botany (Cambridge, 2022), demonstrates the ways that printers and booksellers of herbals enabled the construction of scientific and medical authority in early modern England. She is currently editing 2 Henry VI for the Arden Shakespeare.

UVic’s Public Lectures Series features accomplished individuals from a vast array of academic and research endeavours. As host of this lecture series, UVic continues its commitment to making a vital impact on people, places, and the planet.
