Cavendish news: I've officially signed on to edit the (somehow non-existent) Cambridge Companion to Margaret Cavendish!! Some of y'all will be bothered by me in the coming months; I can't wait to bring your research into undergrad classrooms and induct more scholars into the study of #MarCav

A seventeenth-century engraving of a woman (Margaret Cavendish) with long curly hair and a long gown sitting at a desk, with paper, a pen, and a bell on the tabletop. She wears a small crown in her hair, and is surrounded by little nekkid babies who prepare to lower a laurel crown onto her head. In the foreground is a poem reading (regularized): Studious she is and all alone Most visitants, when she has none, Her library on which she looks, It is her head, her thoughts her books. Scorning dead ashes without fire For her own flames do her inspire.

This exquisite 17th-century book features an embroidered dos-à-dos binding. “Dos-à-dos” (French for “back-to-back”) joins two books into one. Here, the Psalter and New Testament are bound together, embroidered with pansies & carnations. BSS.201.C33.15 (1633). By kind permission of Bible Society.

We see the Psalter and New Testament bound together and embroidered with silver thread and coloured silks in the form of pansies and carnations.

At the Restoration in 1660, it was agreed that Charles II's reign began immediately following the death of Charles I a decade earlier, essentially ignoring the Interregnum. Some documents were even retroactively given a regnal year, like this 1649 Commonwealth record dated 1 Car. 2 [E 133/145/72]
