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?

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.
