![Our first thanks must be to Eoin Price for organising such a important British Shakespeare (BSA) conference on "Shakespeare, Race, and Nation" at Swansea University in 2019, and to all the speakers and auditors at that event. We are especially grateful to all the speakers who took part in that conference's "Shakespeare and Translation" seminar, whose papers and discussion points helped shape the inaugural idea for [this book]: Luis J. Conejero-Magro, Carolina Conte, Coen Heijes, Marina Kitzma, Maureen McDonnell, Paulo da Silva Gregorio, Michael Slater, Kathryn Vomero Santos and Roberta Zanoni.
We are very appreciative of the time Preti Taneja spent talking to us about translation via Teams during the global pandemic, as this conversation helped to inspire new ideas and to consolidate others that have benefitted the collection well beyond the interludes themselves.
Thank you to Varsha Panjwani and Brandi Adams for their input during the essay collection's formation, and to Sijing Lu for taking the time to share her translation expertise as the volume neared completion.
Thanks also to Jessica Chiba and Tetsu Motoyama for their roles on the organising committee of the "Found in Translation: Understanding Shakespeare through Intercultural Dialogue" conference held at Waseda University in 2022, which included helping the delereach Tokyo at a time when the logistics were still rather challenging! The ideas discussed](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sk4gk3wc45jsdnkuer7bivqq/bafkreibkjdxcqhjtcgjpojaryhyfjobodjrqlvsr2muqjek7h6yv4h6el4@jpeg)

The ideas discussed
at this conference led directly to the creation of an additional chapter, as well as adding further impetus to the collection as a whole. Finally our biggest thanks must be to our contributors for working so closely and supportively throughout.

The side of an woman's effigy tomb showing the bottom of her dress and her feet (she lays on her back). The dress is depicted as many wiggled folds of fabric, and we can see the soles of her small shoes.
slightly obsessed about the end of this lady's effigy tomb with the voluminous folds of her dress and petite heeled shoes

A detail of the image showing dozens of hats.
Student life was basically boys wearing hats in lectures, according to this one source.

A scene from Wolf Hall. Mark Rylance as Cromwell is walking down a gallery; behind him there are women sitting sewing.
The introduction, 'Stuff', is in some ways the story so far: the embeddedness of textiles in the language & culture of early modern England, stage costume, sumptuary laws, a bit of myth-busting, theoretical approaches, and some thinking with Hilary Mantel... 3/10

The cover of a book. Title reads TEXTILE SHAKESPEARE. The illustration shows black embroidery of flowers, fruit, animals and insects on a stained cream ground.
Today is the OFFICIAL publication day for TEXTILE SHAKESPEARE! Please indulge me: I want to say a little (perhaps rather a lot) about it and share my acknowledgements - and a discount code! Appropriately,🧵1/10

Thrilled to see this Review Essay nearing publication in postmedieval. In 'Whiteness made visible: Recent Work in Premodern Critical Race Studies', I review four fascinating books on whiteness in art history, fiction, and drama, ranging from the medieval period to the twenty-first century.
