What’s the one book you’ve recommended to people more than any other over the past 10 years?

[Emma Stroud @emmastroud17]

@penguinrandom A Gentleman in Moscow, The Goldfinch, Revolutionary Road, Nervous Conditions, Minaret

[Emily Carding @emilycarding]

Shakespeare's plays and sonnets are steeped in magic and esoteric lore. So Potent Art explores fascinating examples of astrology, alchemy, and Hermeticism in addition to herbalism, witchcraft, fairies, ghosts, and divine intervention.

Just learned today that Patricia Fumerton's book The Broadside Ballad in Early Modern England is now published (by @PennPress)! What a great cover.

This week in my first-year @UoYEnglish we talked about Gawain and The Green Knight, and how thinking about “wonder” raises questions about alterity, race, colony - who wonders, and why? Who is wondered at ? How can we hear the voices of ‘wonders’ in a wondering text?

[Van Gogh Museum @vangoghmuseum]

In this picture, Vincent started with the flowers and butterflies, and filled in the blue background later – the strokes of blue paint occasionally cover the green stems of the flowers. He even left part of the canvas unpainted. 🌻Van Gogh, Butterflies and Poppies (1889)

[Andrew Pettegree @APettegree]

Good reads for 2022: first on my list has to be the fantastic new book on execution ballads by @UnaMcIlvenna. This is by far the best thing I have read on early modern music culture with a broad European range. An instant classic, due out in April.

Words with their hearts on their sleeves:
secretary: a keeper of secrets.
wardrobe: to guard/ward our robes.
freelancer: a knight free to use his lance for payment.
holiday: a holy day.
alphabet: the letters alpha, beta.
disease: lack of ease.
duck: a bird that ducks under water.

[MASSOLIT @massolit]

If anyone is teaching Shakespeare, I can highly recommend Shakespeare After All (2004) by Marjorie Garber.

The book has a short (= 10-20 pp) chapter on every play of Shakespeare, each one jam-packed with absolutely fascinating little observations.
