Sharing my new article, "Queen Anna of Denmark, Prince Henry Stuart, and an Education in Masquing," out now in Ben Jonson Journal! It's about Anna's masque innovations artistic and political, and her thwarted efforts to pass that potent new form into the hands of her son. doi.org/10.3366/bjj....
Queen Anna of Denmark, Prince Henry Stuart, and an Education in Masquing | Ben Jonson Journal
This essay argues that Queen Anna of Denmark did not cease masquing in 1611 simply due to political marginalization or grief, but strategically to pass a powerful propaganda tool to her son, Prince He...

Thanks to Jacob Ridley for Predramatic Theatre's careful appraisal and review! "Rycroft and Walker...show how fruitful and thought-provoking it can be to use modern theories to reconstruct a performance culture which is now tantalizingly inaccessible." That we do! share.google/tOmhpbHraa3x...

It's October 1604 and the Fishmongers are very concerned that some of their freemen 'for greedy gayne' are buying unwholesome fish and hiding it in cellars or back rooms or in 'remote places' such as Southwark, then conveyed 'into the Countrey' to be sold 'to the great daunger' of unwitting folk 😬

“End of the Lutheran chronicle. This book is not worth reading. The quarrels of the vile Luther — suspicious of heresy.” This inscription in a copy of Marcin Bielski’s “Kronika tho iest historya swiata“ (Cracow,1564) absolutely made my day. Early modern readers: never shy with opinions!
Open day at the Shakespeare Institute! What a treat to have a taster lecture from Professor Ewan Fernie (of TV documentary fame!) who is intellectually revisiting 1606; considering the plays that were being written at the time. #Shakespeare #shakespeareinstitute #openday #1606
A novelist I'm married to is good at the meme, it appears. Pre-orders are a huge boost, so if you are interested, repost! and pre-order The Emilys by @heatherabel.bsky.social at a local bookshop, or at www.bookmoonbooks.com, which will send you an artist's map of the book's Western MA locations.
I’ve got some exciting book promotion events coming up over the next couple of months! 🥳🎉📕

For many, many years, Betty was the point of inspiration for the ELR 'Recent Studies' series. She shaped the journal in so many ways. She will be missed.
Paul salzman@pjsalzman.bsky.social · 3mo ago#earlymodern so sad to hear of the death of Betty Hageman a pioneer scholar of early modern women’s writing and a generous soul; I was so grateful for her kindness when I had a short term fellowship at the Folger — the folger should name a chair in the readingroom in her honour.
Being published by University of Chicago Press means that we have some pretty terrific cousin-journals.
