Readying to say a brief word about bears in the south west tomorrow @srsrensoc.bsky.social, so perfect to be greeted by this lad on way to Cotham Hill by the uni… #RenSA25
Another bright sunny Bristol for the first full day of @srsrensoc.bsky.social #RenSA25 after a lovely reception and first keynote yesterday!
A tote bag featuring the title page of ‘The Arabian Trudgman’ is next to an original copy of ‘The Historie of Guicciardin’ open at its title page. Both feature the printer’s device of Richard Field.
You know you’ve found your people when a stranger pulls a rare book out of their bag to compare with your homemade tote because both title pages feature the same printer’s device #RenSA25
Though we are but a journal's bluesky account, we had an excellent time learning from you all at #Shax2025 and #RenSA25, even during short chats in glass tunnels. Send us your expanded papers! Already looking forward to San Francisco and Denver...
Two laptops are open next to each other on the plane, PowerPoint presentations are being edited on both
My laptop on a desk in Boston Public Library’s large main reading room. There is an ornate curved ceiling and green lamps on the tables. Other people work in the background. My PowerPoint presentation is being edited.
In the foreground is my left hand holding a delicious cannoli. Blurred in the background are my excellent pals, sat on a bench, tucking into their own sweet treats.

Home after a truly fantastic #RenSA25. Loved sharing my own work (once the paper was finished 😅), saw so much stimulating research and discussion, and loved Boston. But the company of amazing ECR pals is what really made it a really special trip. Fugit hora when you’re having fun ❤️
Back in York after a fantastic week at #Shax2025 and #RenSA25. Thank you to everyone working behind the scenes and to everyone who came along to the "Shared Forms" seminar! Dare I say we had the best paper props..?
Picture of the title page of the March 2025 (94.1) edition of the Journal of Anglican and Episcopal History, with five articles about Richard Hooker, by Rudolph Almasy, Daniel Graves, Travis Knapp (me), David Alenskis, and Hannah Wygeria.
Had a nice present waiting on my porch when I got home from #rensa25 and #shax2025. My article on the beauty of holiness (including uses by Prynne and Burton) is published! Can't wait til I have a digital version to share.
This week truly was Super Renaissance Conference Week. Thanks for joining us for #Shax2025 and #RenSA25 and we’ll see you next year in Denver for #Shax2026! ✈️

I drove two hours east for #RenSA25 (panels/events yesterday: 9am–10pm; today: 9am–6pm).
But, because I get to see friends & colleagues from across the US/around the globe, actually talk about early modern stuff, stay in a hotel, & watch TV on a big screen, it feels like an honest-to-God vacation.
Ready for the SSEMWG (Society for the Study of Early Modern Women & Gender) Plenary Lecture at #RenSA25 & #Shax2025 !

#RenSA25 #Shax2025 has been fantastic so far but I would say the most surprising thing was sharing an elevator with NBA hall-of-famer Gary Payton
