My Erasmus at Exeter changed my life. It introduced me to an exciting, interdisciplinary way of studying literature, which was the defining factor that led me to pursue my MPhil and PhD studies in the UK. The proposed cuts are barbaric. Please sign and help spread the word. c.org/9R6fRXpzg8

Thinking today about Hugo Grotius and the mare liberum polemic for apparently no reason.
Now that the ink is dry, it’s a great joy to announce that my book is officially under contract with the good people of Cornell University Press. I’m really elated and honoured to be writing for a press that has done so much for the study of Petrarchan lyric in early modern Europe. More soon!
Tomorrow I’ll be in Cambridge giving a talk at the Cambridge Lyric Network (Classics Faculty, 4.30pm). The topic is “Petrarchan Lyric and the Intellectual History of Memory: Dispatches from Early Modern Spain”. Come say hi!

Sharing this again because, in my experience of being a union branch leader during a massive, year-long onslaught of redundancy consultations, no one ever brought up the problem of the cost allocation death spiral. I wish I'd had this information in my arsenal. www.linkedin.com/pulse/cost-a...

Quote and tell me: what book are you currently reading which you’d recommend? I’ve been reading Colin Burrow’s Imitating Authors (OUP, 2019). Burrow re-introduces imitatio so lucidly that you’re left asking yourself how on earth you had not realised some of its conclusions before. A great book!
