#earlymodern #17thC I'm not on here often, but...my first ever history article is out! It's about the goings-on in 17th C Ashton-under-Lyne. I've been passionate about 17th C history for decades, but it's not my official academic field so I'm very excited :) www.tandfonline.com/eprint/MZICG...
The first of my Saturday Substack posts on George Herbert and my devotional is now live! It's mostly aimed at people who don't know much about him - an intro to Herbert and his poetry, and some devotional reflections on "The Elixir". lovebademewelcome.substack.com/p/a-bit-abou...

#EarlyModern #17thC Another terrific set of online lectures coming up!
#EarlyModern #17thC Forbidden Desire: main point re Mediterranean vs N. Europe taken, but it seemed like an exhaustive exercise in largely missing the broader point (until the last chapter...sort of). As a non-expert in this area what should I read as a supplement/corrective esp. re 17th C England?
@mcculloughp.bsky.social - any suggestions? Also, have you done a review of this anywhere? His treatment of 17th C England struck me as particularly indifferent...
