@victoriamoul One reason for posting on x!

@engfac It is good to be reminded by Professor Hutson that alongside his extraordinarily wide-ranging critical work, John Carey was a formidable Renaissance scholar, though he wore his learning very lightly, and always with iconoclastic wit.

@profrhodrilewis Yes, one of the few very funny critics, with an astonishing range

While Ludlow condemned Colonel Hutchinson for treachery at the Restoration, he discovered that Hutchinson had been seeking him out before he died, leading him to hope he had repented of his apostasy. Lucy Hutchinson’s Memoirs vindicate him, in part by blaming herself.

Ludlow’s work, though much more detailed, has many parallels with Hutchinson’s. Blair Worden brilliantly edited part of the surviving manuscript; there are now exciting plans for a digital edition of the entire manuscript.

[David Norbrook @NorbrookDavid]

A workshop at Newcastle University took a transnational approach to Edmund Ludlow’s Memoirs. Like Hutchinson’s Memoirs, the work was edited by the historian Charles Firth, in each case without access to the original manuscripts, which prove to have had strong millennial elements

Congratulations to Claire Gheeraert-Graffeuille for the first monograph on Lucy Hutchinson, and the first study to approach the Memoirs not only through history but through form, analyzing for the first time the complex digressive structure. A milestone!

@EnglishRadical Henry Marten argued in an amendment that it was useless but not dangerous.
