I've had an article under review at a journal for over 7 months, which feels like AGES but...is this normal now?! I keep hearing about the difficulties in finding peer reviewers. I don't want to be dramatic and withdraw the manuscript, but also as an fixed-term ECR, I can't help feeling restless

Thank you! Itโ€™s about the salon of Hortense Mancini, and more broadly about coexistence and tolerance in seventeenth-century London ๐Ÿฅฐ

Unboxing my author copies to finally hold the finished book in my hands. What a feeling! I started this research during my MA in 2016, and 1 PhD and 2 research fellowships later itโ€™s finally here. Coming soon to a research library near you! โœจ

Early modernists! I'm reading abt the 1662 Russian embassy to London where Pepys records gifts of 'furs, hawks, carpets, cloths of tissue, and sea-horse teeth'. I'm intrigued by the seahorse teeth bc...seahorse don't have teeth, right? Are these other parts of the seahorse's body or something else?๐Ÿชธ

Did anyone else feel their heart leap with the news that the British Library are aiming to relaunch their archives and manuscript catalogue in early December? Can't wait to see you old friend ๐Ÿ˜ญ
