How did a Yorkshire hermit become more widely read than Geoffrey Chaucer? Today, the @ChurchOfEngland commemorates 14th-century writer Richard Rolle. And thanks to an amazing discovery by @TimothyLGlover at @ShrewsburySch, we now know much more about Rolle's life and work. Find out more 👇 cam.ac.uk/stories/richar…

Thrilled to be able to now share that my article on Richard Rolle, which pretty much epitomises my take on him, has just been published in Speculum: doi.org/10.1086/731947

Great news for English here! 🙌

Here is a more recent 'toolkit' from @EnglishAssoc: @fbaveystock's summary of the @BritishAcademy_ policy team's key statistics for SHAPE subjects, including employability @AHHEresearch @cdbuni englishassociation.ac.uk/the-british-ac…

Shocking news that the #AHRC are radically reducing number of funded PhDs in #Humanities. Without a funded doctorate (by AHRC), I wouldn’t have been able to be an academic. Really hoping this policy is reconsidered, otherwise the future of #Humanities research in UK looks grim.

Arts and Humanities graduates are as employable as STEM grads and can expect similar wage growth — thebritishacademy.ac.uk/documents/1888…

And more essential reading: a thoughtful summary of the conclusions of the @BritishAcademy_deep dive into the state of English Studies by @_SarahCowan_ @Wonkhe @EnglishAssoc @IES @UnivEnglish wonkhe.com/blogs/reports-…

"'Ha ha' and 'he he' signify laughter in Latin and in English, because they are cried out when laughing." Wonderful evidence here in Ælfric's Grammar that 'ha ha' has been the sound and spelling of laughter in English since at least the 11th century and the Old English period.

We’ve found the Book of Hours captured by Holbein in his famous portrait of #ThomasCromwell! Cromwell’s book is one of the few objects depicted in a Tudor portrait to survive. @TracyBorman has dubbed it “the most exciting Cromwell discovery in a generation - if not more.”

Breaking our Twitter silence to share an intriguing find ... something for the @OED's #OEDantedatings project! The phrase 'cow moes', from the English glosses to a c. 1415 copy of Bibbesworth's 'Tretiz', predates the existing entry for 'moo' by over a century.

@JustinWelby No. This is an appalling outcome, in which the C of E continues to disparage same-sex relationships, while congratulating itself for its "radical inclusion"

The Bishops’ response to Living in Love and Faith reflects our diverse views after deep prayer, study and reflection. I hope these new Prayers of Love and Faith for same-sex couples say to all Christians and especially LGBTQI+ people that you are welcome, valued and precious.

Sat down at lunch with the college chaplain yesterday, who asked about my work and it turned out had not only heard of Richard Rolle (!) but also informed that me his feast day is coming up soon. A thrilling moment
