I’ve posted about #poltergeists 👻 today so it’s probably a good moment to post my latest #witchcraft 🧹 blog. This story is big & complicated but here it is blog sized.

An illustration of a naked man. He is being hit or pierced with various weapons including knives, swords, and clubs. Next to the wounds is text describing accompany treatments. This illustration is from the Wellcome Collection in London.
“Wound Man” is an illustration which first appeared in European surgical texts during the Middle Ages. It laid out schematically the various wounds a person might suffer in battle or in accidents, with accompanying text stating treatments.
It's Friday! Tag yourself as a wound.

A picture of a book entitled Anatomical Forms: The science of the body in early modern women's poetry, by Whitney Sperrazza. The cover has a skeletal hand pointing at a page of manuscript poetry, and in the foreground a human hand points at the skeletal hand, mimicking the cover.
Look what I got today: @wsperrazza.bsky.social 's magnificent new time, fresh off the presses!

Next Friday, 3:30 - Shakespeare Unlearned will be locally launched! Lucky for me, Joey Gamble joins me in conversation at the @umassamherst.bsky.social Kinney Center. Topics: difficult words, pedagogy, and the communal, equitable pleasures offered by obscurity in early modern drama and poetry.
