[Mekong Review @MekongReview]

1. Finally, it feels safe to announce that the latest @MekongReview is out! You may recall that we had trouble printing the magazine in HK last time. Well, that effort has been superseded. Getting this one out was even more difficult. It will take a few tweets to tell the tale.

[Brill History @Brill_History]

Edited by Anne-Pascale Pouey-Mounou (Sorbonne) and Paul Smith (Leiden), “Ronsard and Du Bartas in Early Modern Europe” is the first book-length volume to explore the transnational reception histories of both poets in conjunction with each other https://t.co/JSq0hfjGrn

[Alpinist Magazine @AlpinistMag]

"We need to acknowledge mountaineering as a profoundly social pursuit…. We need to understand where someone is starting from if we really want to understand what the road to the summit for them is like." Listen to the Alpinist podcast interview with Amrita Dhar here.

[Peter Auger @peterauger]

@FeinsteinKen @earlymodernjohn Good question. Of the top of my head, those ones are: Robert Nicolson (who @jes1003 has written about recently), pass, and R. Hyther. But I'm mostly just following the back of Snyder's Oxford edition. Do email if you want to discuss more.

[Peter Auger @peterauger]

Why I spent ten years reading about Du Bartas: https://t.co/mNfl9AQPwI

[Peter Auger @peterauger]

@FeinsteinKen @earlymodernjohn Do you have particular ones in mind? The book is unsurprisingly Du Bartas-specific but I do e.g. note that the translation 'Little Bartas' is not from DB but the poet-bishop Pierre Duval.

[Peter Auger @peterauger]

DBs' works meet an 'urgent need to understand more about literary activity...across the social spectrum and by more than one gender, and to be more outward-looking in understanding how English writers responded to...neighbouring nations'.
