AKA What I Did Over Reading Week.

#skystorians I’d be so grateful if you had time to share or take a look and tell me what sucks and needs fixing.

Love g 🗃️

Having your cake and the option of eating it too is always preferable! ^_^ Again, it's a neat tool and I can see this being a useful teaching platform, especially if there's scope to scale it up (e.g., other scripts, other samples).

This is great fun -- thanks for putting this together! I think it would help to disambiguate letters if they were presented in context, perhaps with the rest of the word grayed out. It's also more authentic as an exercise that way -- how often do we only transcribe a single letter in isolation?

#earlymodern out December at last such a privilege to work with three distinguished scholars of early modern women’s writing

Hey @lahri.bsky.social is this the same for you if you try to access anything other than the Wayback Machine on a campus machine (i.e., not eduroam)?

Shocked to find that my institution has blocked access to the @archive.org this morning. Lodging an IT ticket and very, very curious to know the justification. @archive.org is essential for my research and teaching, and I cannot be the only person at @openresleeds.bsky.social affected by this.

Very proud of my chapter with @effectdefective.bsky.social on "Genre" for the Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and #earlymodern Authorship, out today! global.oup.com/academic/pro... Computational methods and book history goodness!

I'd have thought it was much earlier, personally. Does Aristotle have anything to say about this?

Likewise!

Sad to have missed #RenSoc25, but had a great time at #ANZSA25 ^_^

Looks good, Doug!

Who called Shakespeare ‘upstart crow’? Our study points to his co-author, Thomas Nashe Perhaps he intended to denigrate Shakespeare as a jack-of-all-trades player-turned-playwright who should have stuck to acting.

Striking while the iron is hot, we wrote a piece for The Conversation #earlymodern theconversation.com/who-called-s...

@chrisvvarren.bsky.social ?

'Upstart Crow' - who insulted Shakespeare, and why? New research has cast fresh doubt on the origins of one of the most famous insults aimed at William Shakespeare, pointing the finger at a friend of the Bard.

Linocut print and relief block in a press.

Latest lino reconstruction of #earlymodern woodcut – this one from the title page of Marlowe's _Doctor Faustus_ (1631). Pretty pleased with how this one came out, and got to test out the new lino dot tool!
