Today is (probably) Shakespeare’s 457th birthday! Coincidentally, it's also his death day.

Over the years, Modern Philology has published hundreds of articles on the Bard’s work--here are some highlights for your perusing pleasure! 🧵

It’s wonderful to once again celebrate Shakespeare’s birthday & anniversary of death, thanks to all who made it possible. #stratforduponavon #shakespeare #happybirthdayshakespeare

At the end of a busy day we were thrilled to show, the recently awarded “Freedom of Stratford-upon-Avon”, Dame Judi Dench all the flowers laid at Shakespeare’s grave today. #happybirthdayshakespeare

I’ve arrived in Dublin for #RSA2022 with two goals: to give a paper on the Book of Common Prayer and to drink Guinness with friends. A few minutes ago I peeked into a display case and saw Benjamin Guinness’s BCP. this is too much!

Another stunning detail from a 17th-century casket panel. The squirrel and the leaves and buds of the tree on which it perches are lightly raised. The clouds above the tree are made of tiny French knots. And the squirrel's tail is made of feathers -- a very rare survival!

Elizabeth Condell, widow of Henry (co-compiler of Shakespeare’s First Folio), was buried on this day 386 years ago. She was buried at St Mary Aldermanbury, near to her husband and their close friends, John and Rebecca Heminges.

@Pimkin81 @VetSheepdogsUS @KSAnimalRescue It’s still visible for me, but I understand some are saying they can’t see it. I think the reason ksar removed fbk is because discloses location of cats. I think they’re legit (registered with IRS website) just bad@at pr and comms 🤷‍♀️

[Eliza @egshar]

@Cindylenn1 @Dodlett @WatchAbroad I think most of these orgs are bad @ pr, comms, & social media, which doesn’t bode well for when they go viral, which they weren’t expecting. Add to that the chaos of the situation. I think they’re legit. They’re registered w/ IRS website. Just don’t think they’re savvy @ comms.
