Women have been speaking out about abuse for centuries! I wrote about Anne Wentworth, a 17th-century survivor of domestic abuse, for @theconversation.com #earlymodern
What was John Locke doing, as he eagerly learned about, bought, and read contemporary works of biblical scholarship? My latest article looks at a less familiar side of Locke's life, suggesting it reveals an underappreciated early modern world of 'everyday erudition'.

The new history of theriac (since Watson's 1966) is out there in the world, on its own. At last, out of my thoughts. I am so happy!

Hello #renaissance #reformation & #earlymodern historians: I'm really trying to rev up my Ren&Ref course this syllabus time: any inspiring/successful monographs, sources, websites that you could recommend? Melchior Lorck, Satire on the Papacy @metmuseum.org. Thanks!
I also tell students to read at least a page aloud, then they start to get the hang of it and have fun. I suppose if you wanted an equivalent text for practice you could use a modern edition of early modern lit (think Shakespeare) alongside an EEBO early modern edition.

My hand holding a paperback copy of Anthony Grafton's book "Magus: The Art of Magic from Faustus to Agrippa", recently ordered from biblio.com.
New book mail yesterday, Anthony Grafton's work on #earlymodern magic and the age of Faust. In the current environment I'm also reminded of remarks in his Girolamo Cardano book referring to 16th-century astrologers as the economists of their day: 🙄 📗 📉 bookshop.org/p/books/magu...
