💀 A spooky surprise for Halloween: this nineteenth-century Italian memento mori turn-up book unfolds to reveal a decaying corpse; above, the figures' sumptuous clothing falls away to uncover two pairs of skeletal legs, a scythe, and a spade. 🪦

How about something else from volume 40.2? @emilylsteve's article looks at the place of women as social, cultural and economic agents in 16th century London - she takes as her case study Lady Rose Lok Hickman Throckmorton, who left a diary to posterity.

Ideas of space and place were central to Anne Southwell's concept of poetic creation. In this article from our latest issue, Cassandra Gorman explores Southwell's use of imagery to write physical and astronomical encounters.

Women’s artistic education. What did it look like in early modernity? And how did it develop between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries? These are important questions and Mal Haselberger sets out to explore them in our latest issue.

Seed lists were an early modern innovation that enabled the new plants flowing into Europe to be catalogued. Central within this network of knowledge was English aristocrat Mary Somerset. @olinmoctezuma examines Mary's legacy in her article in iss. 40.2.

What exactly is 'agency'? And how has women's agency figured in early modern cultural and economic history in recent decades? These are good questions! Happily, Merry Wiesner-Hanks turned herself to the task of answering them in her article in iss. 40.2 .
