It's going to take me about a year to input all 2300 ESTC records for London publisher Mary Cooper, imagining 10 a day during lunch every workday (lol 🥲). Cataloguing and data entry calm anxiety, so I dont mind a midday reset BUT the monotony does get to me. Sooo stats thread!

I made some exciting updates to the EarlyPrint Lab's tools over the past few weeks. You can search and explore printed books from 1500–1700 in new and more flexible ways! The Ngram Browser, Bibliographia, and Phrase Search tools have all been updated on earlyprint.org. Thread 👇

A screenshot of the EarlyPrint Ngram browser, a line plot with two lines represent the words "love" and "loue" showing that v replaces u around 1630. Also includes a bar plot showing the overall frequence of "love" is much higher than "loue".A screenshot of the EarlyPrint Bibliographia, an interactive scatter plot of more than 50,000 texts, with texts labeled as "Sermons, English", "Ballads", and "Controversial Literature" highlighted in blue, yellow, and purple respectively. On the left is a panel that allows the user to adjust the date range and selected subject headings. The 1667 edition of Paradise Lost is selected on the plot, and its metadata is shown in the box on the right.A screenshot of part of EarlyPrint's Phrase Search interface, showing results for the phrase "for whom the bell tolls." The image shows the content results, which search for keywords in the phrase in any order, and the form results, which look for similar part-of-speech sequences. Each set of results has buttons to run the same searches in Corpus Search and the Ngram Browser.

Somewhere between Orwell’s “Politics & the English language” & Twitter relatability* discourse the distinction between complexity and obfuscation got erased. This was politically opportune for reactionary anti-intellectuals, allowing them to claim a seemingly progressive position as their own.

At some point we're going to have to reckon with the fact that part of learning, part of educating yourself, is figuring out how to deal with the friction between yourself and the world at the limits of your knowledge in ways other than retreating from it or making it someone else's problem.

I am so delighted and honored to be a part of this Past & Present Supplement, “Medicine, Race, and Slavery in the Transatlantic World, 1600–1850.” It was a pleasure and so enriching to work with @hsmurphy.bsky.social and the editors at @pastpresentsoc.bsky.social doi.org/10.1093/past...

Medicine, Race, and Slavery in the Transatlantic World, 1600–1850

As the title suggests, the provocation of this Supplement is simple: that the histories of medicine, transatlantic slavery, and race cannot, and should not

Can we take a moment to salute Beverly Cleary, who was born on this day? From Henry Huggins on (first book) through Beezus and Ramona and so many others, she shaped laughter, wisdom, and a love of reading in so many children, some of them becoming adults with … a love of reading. A blessed memory.
