Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

had a wonderful time this weekend at the @MEMS_Festival presenting on Webster and exploring lovely Canterbury!

"'Ha ha' and 'he he' signify laughter in Latin and in English, because they are cried out when laughing."

Wonderful evidence here in Ælfric's Grammar that 'ha ha' has been the sound and spelling of laughter in English since at least the 11th century and the Old English period.

really admiring the guts it takes to pick a reign name with a 50% incidence rate of abolishing the monarchy

if I keep giving my twitter handle out after conference papers I should perhaps look halfway alive on here … it’s summer research season! thanks to the Fat Bodies in Early Modern Drama folks and @britgrad (+for the swag) for rounding out a ✨productive✨ June in the UK

[Elizabeth Dieterich @lizzydeeter]

this CFP got me so excited when it came out 🤩 (can we start saying CFPs “drop,” like albums?) & it was so much fun to present this morning—even though I was as “fat and out of breath” as a fencing Hamlet after leaving laptop in hotel room

@JumboCarnation this is very Not Your Point here but I never filled out such a thing! do I still work there?? at any moment could some drunken weeknight manager call me to cover a venue section serving mediocre wine to the suburban fans of some problematic, washed-up musician?? 🥵🥵🥵

about this I’ll just say that there are some younger folks in my early modern lit seminar who did not stay up past 11 eagerly watching every offering of Comedy Central c. 2002 (due to being infants) and, well, they were a bit confused when they googled “Milton memes”

[Elizabeth Dieterich @lizzydeeter]

I think what’s holding me back from what would undoubtedly be groundbreaking scholarship on Shakes’ Roman plays is that I can spell neither“Emperor” nor “Caesar”
