S is for the SRS @srsrensoc.bsky.social conference in Bristol – had such a good time there and was so happy to meet the early modern crowd. #RenSoc25 #earlymodern
It was a very enjoyable panel. It was lovely to meet you Sian, and to learn about your research! Glad you enjoyed #RenSoc25
Excited to digitally announce that we awarded our article prize to Tim Shephard & Melany Rice (@sheffieldcems.bsky.social) for ‘Giovanni Pontano hears the Street Soundscape of Naples’. Congratulations both!

WHAT A WEEK! An utter delight to see so many #EarlyModern 'ists chatting, thinking, discussing together in beautiful Bristol. So many conversations started and ideas sparked.
If you're looking for people you met, we tried to update the starter pack of #RenSoc25 delegates:
#RenSoc25 last week was 👌🏼👌🏼 I was fortunate to speak on a lovely panel with @gvb1554.bsky.social and others all about women and litigation in the early modern world. Now to get ready for the Global Consortium for French Historical Studies in Paris next week! @sfhs.bsky.social @srsrensoc.bsky.social
A Bristolian graffito. #RenSoc25
Brilliant couple of days @srsrensoc.bsky.social #RenSoc25 - have come away with lots to think about. V honoured to have been included in the line up, and thanks to @aidannorrie.bsky.social for the pic!

So many great papers at #RenSoc25 in #Bristol. Just a few highlights for me...
Laurie Atkinson on "Transnationality, intermediality, and print shop relations in The Shyp of folys of the worlde (1509)."

Many thanks to @srsrensoc.bsky.social and Bristol Organising Committee for such a wonderful conference. #RenSoc25 I feel inspired and happy to be part of such a thriving community. Special thanks to my Chair, @racheljwillie.bsky.social , and co-panelists - @eprenprof.bsky.social and Matteo Leta.
I had a fantastic time at the @srsrensoc.bsky.social #RenSoc25! My talk included the exceptional concord the Grahams of Esk agreed in 1598, that a panel of twelve arbitrators would meet once a week so that "all quarells & debaites shalbe decided”--ending decades of inter-family feuding.
Thank you, Bristol, for a terrific #RenSoc25 & for being amazing hosts! It was fabulous to hear such erudite papers & talk with a brilliant bunch of people. Looking forward to seeing y’all at #RenSoc27, where @warburginstitute.bsky.social will be our hosts in our DIAMOND anniversary year! #SRSlyGood
Terrific AGM to end a fabulous #RenSoc25. Thank you Bristol for being awesome!
[warning: Bad Port Punnage GIF alert]
Had such a brilliant time at #RenSoc25. At a time when everything seems TERRIBLE, it’s fantastic to spend time hearing about the fabulous research and work that’s being done in our field. SRS is a special society & I find their conferences restorative. Thank you Bristol for making us so welcome!
Look all I really want to see are rants by the cast members about the evils of roving Machiavelociraptors.

Returning from #RenSoc25 brimming over with early modern goodness, in awe of the incredible research being presented, and buoyed up by the collegiality and community in such abundant evidence, despite everything. A huge thank you to the organisers!
Time to bid a fond farewell to #RenSoc25! I had a lovely time meeting new people, reconnecting with old friends, hearing some brilliant papers, and sharing cat photos. #SnugsMum
Until next time!
Feel for @alhegland.bsky.social, who suffered the indignity of being called Snug’s Mum when she asked a question in a brilliant panel I had the honour of chairing #RenSoc25
Can’t believe we’re at the final panel of #RenSoc25 😮
Very excited though for panel 9.1, on Friendship and Flirting in the Renaissance.
First up is Lanyu Chen on ‘Flatters or Friends: Uncovering the Hidden Friendship in Thomas May’s Cleopatra’
Love me some Plutarch in the afternoon 😉
Note to self while in #RenSoc25 panel 8.6: do not get into enclosed vehicles with Anna Trapnel unless you want to become a captive audience to prophecy.
Top tip from @eprenprof.bsky.social to #RenSoc25 delegates staying in town for a bit longer: the Henry V being performed at Temple Church which is worth the visit!
YES! Always very proud about the extraordinary scholarship AS WELL AS the extraordinary collegiality of the @srsrensoc.bsky.social gang. #RenSoc25
PHOENIX SEAL OF APPROVAL. What the #EarlyModern disciplines need is this crossover.
#RenSoc25
It’s the final day of #RenSoc25, and we come to panel 8.6, ‘Writing Women in the Seventeenth Century’… featuring moi! Excited/terrified about debuting work on the next book, but am looking forward to my co-panelists’ papers. ☺️☺️☺️
Shout out to everyone I’ve met at #rensoc25 what a wonderful conference and community!
Sigh. Feathers not reading well on the iPhone screen with autocorrect. Obviously “Marcocci“, not Marconi… And ‘letters’ includes broader characters as well… #RenSoc25
Very blurry image of part of a slide with a quote from Peter Martyr of Anghiera De Orbe Novo book 10 with “The signs by which you communicate with the absent”
“The signs by which you communicate with the absent” is the loveliest & encompassing description of letters. #RenSoc25

Third keynote by the fabulous Guiseppe Marconi from @ox.ac.uk on “Books in the Antipodes: Rethinking Libraries and Global Knowledge across the Oceans” #RenSoc25
