After hearing Helen Wilcox's excellent paper on Oroonoko @BangorRestorat1 earlier this week, rather pleased I get to re-read it whilst adding mark-up for @EditingBehn stylistic analysis of Behn's prose. Such a great, unyielding and striking story.

Customary post-conference stroll along the pier done, time to go home! As ever, thanks for a stimulating and convivial few days ⁦@BangorRestorat1⁩ (even if it’s worrying nouveau to see you on Twitter...). See you two years’ hence!

[Civil War Petitions @cwpetitions]

In a great panel on non-conformist identities, we are currently listening to a great paper from @HyPIRUoL ‘s very own John Coffey, introduced by chair @RachelJWillie as ‘the second half of the Baxter boy band’ (the other member being, of course, Neil Keeble) 😁

‘Were I brave, I could remember that’ ~ Behn's Dutch Lover explores the dangers of memory, and the safety, if self-condemnation, of forgetting - Elaine Hobby @BangorRestorat1

[Mel Evans @_MelEvans]

@BangorRestorat1 plenary from @EditingBehn PI Elaine Hobby on the effects of remembering in Behn's drama: memory part of characterisation: Women not mere signs or symbols but instead a commitment to a greater subjectivity - and also true of her male characters as well.

[Civil War Petitions @cwpetitions]

This morning we are straying off the safety of the shore at the @BangorRestorat1 conference for a fascinating paper by David Davies on naval ideology in the later Stuart age.

[Civil War Petitions @cwpetitions]

Finally, Alan James takes us through the recreation of an imperial past in the navy of Louis XIV.

[Civil War Petitions @cwpetitions]

Next up, we are delighted to hear a paper at the @BangorRestorat1 conference from a good friend of our project, Dr Gijs Rommelse, on memories of Stuart absolutism and Dutch naval power.

[Mel Evans @_MelEvans]

Great opening panels at @BangorRestorat1 (Yes, plural, as I shamelessly hopped between the two). Great to have an update on the fantastic @cwpetitions and also hear @RachelJWillie on Behn's Roundheads, all engaging with civil war (mis)remembering

[Civil War Petitions @cwpetitions]

...And bringing up the rear in the #cwpetitions panel at the @BangorRestorat1 conference is project manager @IsminiPells speaking on broken bodies and the body politic (artist’s impression, photo unavailable).

[@BangorRestoration @BangorRestorat1]

We’ve just had an excellent panel on Restoration drama! Thinking through aspects of remembering and forgetting on the Restoration stage with Rachel Willie (@LJMU ) David Fletcher (@warwickuni) Leo Shipp (@UniofExeter) and Clara Manco (@Cambridge_Uni)

[Civil War Petitions @cwpetitions]

Supporting the vanguard in the #cwpetitions panel at the @BangorRestorat1 conference is Project co-I Dave Appleby, speaking on representations of loyalty and animosity.

[Civil War Petitions @cwpetitions]

Project PI Prof. Andy Hopper leads the charge on the #cwpetitions panel at the @BangorRestorat1 conference, looking at the politics of memory in Yorkshire.

[Civil War Petitions @cwpetitions]

Clare Jackson kicks off the @BangorRestorat1 conference with tales of severed heads, ghosts and other ghoulish apparitions of the Stuart past 👻💀

[Mel Evans @_MelEvans]

Clare Jackson kicking off @BangorRestorat1 with a fascinating and highly entertaining plenary on ghost dialogues and spectre advice-giving in the seventeenth century. Severed heads aplenty.

[@BangorRestoration @BangorRestorat1]

Where were all the literary ghosts during the so-called “Glorious Revolution”?

[@BangorRestoration @BangorRestorat1]

Clare Jackson from @TrinityHallCamb about to begin her talk on “Ghosts of Stuart Past” #BangorRestoration2019

[@BangorRestoration @BangorRestorat1]

What function did Restoration ghosts serve? Nostalgia? Political commentary? And what is the difference between literary and “real” ghosts?

[GEMMS_sermons (@gemms-sermons.bsky.social) @GEMMS_sermons]

In two weeks on July 31, 2019, Anne James will be giving a paper on "'Not by might nor by power': Restoration Gunpowder Plot Sermons in a Nonconformist Community" at the Bangor Conference on the Restoration in Bangor, Wales. We hope to see you there!
