Go, litel boke! My new book about old books, Chaucer's Early Modern Readers, is now out with @CUP_LitPerform and thanks to @snsf_ch is free to read online! In it, I follow the trace of Chaucer's 15th c manuscripts into the early modern period https://t.co/fvSUYRIIyh

@azildjia96 Fantastic! Would love to learn more about your findings

An overdue update: I finished my database of dedications in Britain from 1641 until 1700! I've now viewed 98,263 books.
These are the totals: amount of dedications overall, average of books with dedications, women dedicatees and couple dedicatees, and their average representation

We're hugely proud of @callanjd - his What is a Playhouse? was chosen as one of the Books of the Year 2023 in History Today magazine.

It's a 'refreshing' re-examination of 'the economy of fun'.
