Delight to announce that my article on Frances Wolfreston's annotated almanacs has been published in The Seventeenth Century. The almanacs were acquired by @bodleianlibs in 2010 and are the only known life-writing by Wolfreston.

Not much for the ol' Twitter anymore, but have many irons in the fire:
-Chapter coming out next year on @bobdylan's song-poetry
-Writing & shopping around my own poetry
-Shopping around a book
-Managing County Board campaign
-Trying to save former Rte 66 restaurant built in '68
One of my most exciting finds: a single page folding almanac pasted into a scrapbook of correspondence and booklists of Christopher Hatton. Thanks yet again to the Bodleian library and its ever helpful staff.
@paul_salzman @bkadams I believe "the wits out weted" is a broadside ballad, "Wit out-witted, or, The cheater cheated." The Bodleian has a digitized copy.
@paul_salzman I have a list of full transcriptions if you might find it helpful in your research. My email is my last name, first name (no spaces) at Gmail.
