Thanks 😄

Thanks buddy 😄 Can't wait to actually hold a copy in my hands.

Thomas Middleton’s Theatre of War: The King’s Men and Political Performance in the Public Sphere, 1620-1624 This book examines the plays Thomas Middleton wrote for the King’s Men between 1620 and 1624, arguing that they constitute one of the most sustained and ambitious engagements with contemporary politic...

My first monograph, Thomas Middleton's Theatre of War, will be published on 22nd July in the @srsrensoc.bsky.social book series! 🥳

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.

Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt.

While Norway still owns everything and has the equivalent of £10tn.

That's how privatisation 'works'.

Loving this blazon for the Ghost of Lucrece by Thomas Middleton. "death that shrimpe of spirits" 🦐 , "Her haire which in Arachnes finest loome, / Was kist with siluer shickles [shuttles?]" 🕷️"Her eies the curious fabricke of her world" 🌍

IF they remember to apply the discount at the till.

Mate, it's been like a year! Don't disappear forever and then reappear on my route today with no explanation. Where have you been? 😭

Don't yell at librarians when they cannot provide you with materials LLMs told you existed but don't exist.
Come on folks.

Well 2 years is a long time, in which a lot can happen, so it would always be nice to at least leave the option open 🥴

While I have no siblings this is uncannily like at my friend's wedding from a couple of years ago 😬

I mean... she was right but still.

All the world’s a stage – including Stratford’s Guildhall A new exhibition curated by Nottingham University research fellow Dr Will Green details how the upstairs of the Grade I listed building in Church Street was used as an early modern theatre venue.

Turns out the Stratford Observer also ran a piece on the new interpretation 😍

Well they could hardly sack me for not doing so 😂

Every so often I still think how weird it was that in my last redundancy process HR sent me a questionnaire that included asking me what job I was moving to, with the note that "Unknown is not an allowed answer" 🙃

My thanks to the brilliant @drwillgreen.bsky.social for having me form part of his exciting special issue on Shakespeare and Middleton, and for his superb editorial work.

This piece by @freeburian.bsky.social is the first article from the forthcoming special issue on Shakespeare and Middleton, which I am guest editing. So pleased to see it live 🙂

Having to get past drunken far right protesters tonight in Solihull just to get home after work.

Cue "how do you know they're far right? 🤬"

Mate, no one else goes out in torrential rain and hangs England flags on the church.

Heron right outside the patio 😳

Further adventures in freelance life: I've been asked to review this for History Today 😄

🚨Latest pod drop - it's King's Gambit, a look at the immediate aftermath of A Game at Chess by Thomas Middleton. With readings of letters and official accounts, plus expert panellists: @danielyabut.bsky.social @tracelarkhall.bsky.social @drwillgreen.bsky.social audioboom.com/posts/879774...

Hey it's me 👇

At least I'm not doing these talks in a church like last time.

Most constant worry when translating my teaching/presentation style into public talks... especially when its half term and kids are present?

My brain's constant commentary of "don't swear, don't swear"...

But surely this means that with the savings they'll make from not employing humans, they'll be able to pass those on to customers by doing away with the admin fee for cancelling tickets, or offer us discounts on the tickets themselves right?

.... right!?

Time for a press release!
