Found a Shakespeare thing; wrote about it in @thetls.bsky.social: www.the-tls.com/regular-feat....

existential question asked at the border: so, what do you do in the world of shakespeare?

i've decided that sadie sink's juliet kicks lars eidinger's hamlet off this list

i think even writing a book proposal is objectively too hard already

from OUP correspondence with the Huntington Library in 1926: 'Among scholars a great deal is done for very little reward'

just saw Icke's R&J with Sadie Sink and Noah Jupe. probably the best R&J I've seen, not perfect (what would that even mean lol), some gimmicky stuff, but in its best moments it cuts through the heavy layers of canonicity with the scalpel of language – exceptionally wielded by Sink. more tmrw maybe

The cover of a book, it reads: The Henry E. Huntington Facsimile Reprints, 1, Fulgens and Lucres, by Henry Medwall

A page in a book; it reads: Of this book 200 copies have been printed, No. 1

I bought a copy of the 1919 Huntington facsimile reprint of Fulgens and Lucres for 10 quid. They printed 200 numbered copies of this and I was shocked to discover that mine is apparently number one!!

Come hear me talk about the grammar of weather in husbandry manuals!

i went to see it one more time yesterday shortly before closing & it was very busy still. People really seem to be enjoying it!

been reading a lot older things about textual editing and sure sounds like alchemy sometimes

Some academic publishing contract advice: make sure your contract specifies 1. a qualified human copyeditor will copyedit on the MS; 2. a qualified human proofreader will proofread the MS; 3. that production must have a proper system for version control (!).

i'm red-green blind, so not the best person to ask about shades of green, but the pattern looks so organic and fungal next to the more paint splatter style shirt

for some reason, i find this mouldy looking dress extremely unsettling

thank you, Greg!
