A wonderful first day at Britgrad - heard many stimulating papers and plenaries, and met many lovely people. Looking forward to the next few days of panels and workshops. #britgrad2025

'Upstart Crow' - who insulted Shakespeare, and why? New research has cast fresh doubt on the origins of one of the most famous insults aimed at William Shakespeare, pointing the finger at a friend of the Bard.

Of interest to #earlymodern folks -- new research shredding light on the insult on Shakespeare as an "upstart crow" www.leeds.ac.uk/main-index/n...

I’m beyond delighted : in September, I’ll begin a fully-funded PhD at the Shakespeare Institute, thanks to being awarded the Wolfson Postgraduate Scholarship in Humanities. Grateful for all the amazing support, and excited for what is to come! @shakesinstitute.bsky.social @wolfsonfdn.bsky.social
