@RachelJWillie Yay! Congratulations! Looking forward to getting my copy.

It’s PUBLICATION day! I’ll post a little teaser about each ch every day. In our introduction, Chloe Preedy & I…erm…introduce the collection & explain what on earth possessed us to publish a vol. on a writer pretty much exclusively associated ŵ prose in a PLAYS companion series

My keynote from the 2021 conference on the Experience of Loneliness in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries thoughts on working as an itinerant academic working on itinerant ballad sellers. Sadly just as relevant now. Please share widely. earlymodernballads.wordpress.com/2024/07/05/nor…

The premodern world held possibilities and imagined futures: the physical and metaphysical systems that were actively built and contested then continue to inform the world in the present. Read our statement on the value of Renaissance & Premodern Studies: rensoc.org.uk/statement-on-t…

"Twice or thrice in a month, the bottom of my purse is turned downward [...] and my conduit of ink will no longer flow for want of reparation" (Nashe, 1596). A reminder of the 15th July deadline for our CfP on precarity in literature/ literary lives: academic.oup.com/english/pages/…

In response to very significant recent publications about the future of the humanities in the UK, here's our latest blog, about a webinar we organised earlier this year on English and employability. Enjoy! @a.cornish/my-useful-english-degree-our-webinar-cf5b778c7123" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@a.cornish/my-…

A reminder about this CfP for a special issue of @English_Jnl on the literary/cultural history of precarity. Send us your ideas on writers' careers, stories which portray precarious experience, the impact of changing technologies (etc) by 15th July.

We're also keen to hear from English teachers, librarians, archivists. If you want to pitch an idea to me before sending an abstract in, or have any questions, please get in touch (details on CfP).

This comes out of the @nashe_thomas Penniless Project, run by @cathy_shrank , Archie Cornish, and me. We are (for our sins) early modernists, but we want this issue to cover a wide historical range, and to have contributions from precariously employed colleagues.

We're putting together a special issue of the journal 'English' on the topic of 'Precarity in Perspective' and want your articles, think-pieces, and book reviews! CfP: academic.oup.com/english/pages/… // Deadline: 15th July.

Join us for the launch of the Creativity Engine! Find out more about how @UniofNewcastle have worked with @7Stories & @EnglishAssoc on a new AI creative writing tool. 📅 Tuesday 23rd May ⌚ 4 - 5.30pm 📍 Newcastle City Library, @ToonLibraries eventbrite.co.uk/e/creativity-e… #ai

👀 the latest issue of "Renaissance Studies" is out and it is an EXTRA SPECIAL ISSUE on ARETINO's CITYSCAPES, edited by the indomitable duo, @KateDeRycker & @Satyrane #Twitterstorians #SRSlyGood rensoc.org.uk/renaissance-st…

Speaking about the 'Penniless?' project today with fellow project partners @cathy_shrank & Archie Cornish, and with @JenniferRichar7 chairing. We focused on historical and modern precarity using @nashe_thomas as our guide. Join us online today at 5.25 BST.

@KateErrington3 Happy to talk with your about this, Kate.

I'm hoping to speak with some UK academic mums about navigating conception / pregnancy / young parenthood whilst in academia. I'd like to arrange an online session for researchers considering parenthood. If you're interested in sharing your experience, please get in touch 🙏

You can read through Will's description of the articles included in our special issue of 'Renaissance Studies' here. You can even read the majority of them online, as most are published OA, including mine on the erotics of the unseen spaces of Rome/London.

@Satyrane Right, so this article opens a section on Aretino's reception abroad. It talks about the eroticism of imagined urban spaces, in A.'s Roman comedy, 'Cortigiana' (1525) and in the imagined interiors of London brothels in C17th city comedies and gossipy pamphlets.
