A shout out to former Strode PhD @lauradefurio on her new ELR piece on Lucy Hutchinson! Congrats, Laura!

[Dr. Laura De Furio @lauradefurio]

Really proud to be included in this collection with scholars whose work I’ve long admired. This article began as an unshakeable fixation on 5 lines of Hutchinson’s Memoirs where she recounts a tense exchange with Charles II’s Spymaster.
