This biscuit set is inspired by Milton’s Cottage, the house in Chalfont St Giles where John Milton completed ‘Paradise Lost’. 🍪

Each biscuit (cookie) depicts a rare book or artefact featuring in the @MiltonsCottage collections.

One mark of a successful conference is coming away with inspirational thoughts and new ideas whizzing around your head - which is exactly how #SAMEMES22 has left me! A fantastic few days at @UniNeuchatel full of stimulating plenaries, papers and coffee-break conversations. 1/2

[Pascale Aebischer @PascaleExeter]

Had a brilliant time at @samemes2020 #SAMEMES22. So lovely to catch up with old friends, make new ones, listen to some fantastic scholars, and even have a swim in glorious Lake Neuchâtel. Exhausted but very grateful to have been part of this!

Delivering the closing remarks, @EmmaDepledge1 brings together the fantastic research and analysis of the four #SAMEMES22 plenaries under the overarching 'Afterlives' theme.

Our final, wonderful panel on ‘Reviving Ages Past’ has now finished and beautifully brought our conference to a close.

Up now, our final plenary by Greg Walker: ‘Postdramatic Theatre and Pre-Theatrical Drama: What’s In a Name? An afterlife for Early British Drama?’ - let’s find out!

[Samemes2020 @samemes2020]

And, so, #SAMEMES22 has come to a close, but the conversations and scholarship shall certainly have long ‘Afterlives’! Another thank you to all our speakers, participants and my many fellow organisers for what has been a wonderful few days.

Walker highlights the interconnectivity of 'postdramatic performance', a term coined by Hans-Thies Lehmann, both today and in the early modern period - working to 'untheatre theatre'. My lockdown digital performance neurons are firing in so many directions! #SAMEMES22

The book in question is entitled ‘The Corporeality of Clothing in Medieval Literature’, Medieval Institute Publications, 2018. Brava and congratulations again, Sarah!

At last night’s conference dinner we had the pleasure of celebrating the newly announced winner of the SAMEMES Early Career Book Prize: @SorchaBrazil

[Samemes2020 @samemes2020]

This afternoon’s sessions are starting now; ‘material memories’ and ‘political afterlives’.

[Greg Walker @gregmw4]

Impressive welcome to Neuchatel for the SAMEMES conference.
