Eroticizing the everyday object: #earlymodern towel rack c.1540, coll. @museumkurhaus and one in its original context by Jan van Stalburch, after Maarten van Heemskerck, c.1555 - 1562, coll. #rijksmuseum. #histsex #histlove

very excited for this! I'll be exploring cavalier poetry & English plans to colonize Madagascar in the 1630s. What is the relationship between poetry and empire, and what does fancy have to do with it? How much might Davenant have known about the Malagasy of Madagascar?

We have a new blog to share!

It's based on a recent article in @CultSocHistory and considers the way that #earlymodern artisans wrote about their craft. Do take a look:

Very much looking forward to my #RenSA21 panel tomorrow, where I'll be discussing my paper on literary form, material formes, paper boats and how not to travel to Queenborough https://t.co/fNV3Bi4q8N

Today I am teaching about the 'martial body', which means I get to talk about these truly incredible pieces of embossed armour by Filippo Negroli, ca. 1532–35

16th century knives featuring sheet music on them, so guests can sing together at the end of the meal. Each knife appears to have a different line of harmony to the others.

Gold crown of Elizabeth, 1594-96.

[Prof Claire Jowitt - @clairejowitt.bsky.social @clairejowitt]

'Alas for fayte' sapphire gold posy ring, c.14, reputedly given by John of Gaunt to his mistress & later wife Katherine Swynford; 'alas for fayte' = ironic comment on illicit love affair juxtaposed with sapphire = associated with preservation of chastity https://t.co/tRXESB7AEy

[John McCafferty @jdmccafferty]

The Palmerston Gold Chocolate Cups, c. 1700 (British Museum)

Just lovely, really.
