very excited for this! I'll be exploring cavalier poetry & English plans to colonize Madagascar in the 1630s. What is the relationship between poetry and empire, and what does fancy have to do with it? How much might Davenant have known about the Malagasy of Madagascar?
We're looking forward to this term card of fantastic speakers at the Early Modern English Literature Seminar, including @lauren_working @HannahCrawfort1

We have a new blog to share!
It's based on a recent article in @CultSocHistory and considers the way that #earlymodern artisans wrote about their craft. Do take a look:

16th century knives featuring sheet music on them, so guests can sing together at the end of the meal. Each knife appears to have a different line of harmony to the others.

Johann Amos Comenius' 'Orbis sensualium pictus' (1659) is a fantastic children's picture book of the various spaces and places of the early modern world.. Here are some of my favourite illustrations of devotional sites: the study, the church, the dinning hall and the parlour.
