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
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.
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!
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!
