Out now @OUPAcademic #MakingMilton A collection of fantastic essays focusing on how #Milton’s authorial persona was shaped by: modes of writing in which he expressed himself, material forms in which his works circulated & ways his texts were reappropriated by later writers (1/3)

As @RachelJWillie and I argue in the Introduction, the #Restoration of the monarchy in 1660 both did and *did not* bring about the ‘restoration’ of the theatres. This collection, like the @SAAupdates seminar on which it was based, seeks to undermine arbitrary period boundaries

Annnnnd finally! @SportingKyd eruditely examines Kirkman’s play catalogues, droll collection, practices as a bibliographer & role as theatrical antiquarian to show how print in early Restoration played an essential part in canon formation, extending beyond the triumvirate of wit

Penultimate teaser! @heidicraig focusses on playbook publishing during three distinct periods: pre 1642, 1642-60, & post 1660 to illustrate how cast & actor lists & allusions to actors in prologues & epilogues in plays function as marketing devices & documents of theatre history

Today’s Teaser! Stephen Watkins examines the Dryden Davenant Tempest, carefully grown from the Shakespeare text & germinating new branches of its own. Watkins expertly traces its reception & alteration histories across stage & page, bookstalls, concert halls, & personal libraries

In today’s teaser, I lower the tone by writing about a flatulent devil whose farts smell like tobacco & how ballad song connects representations of roundheads in cheap print in the Restoration to rogues and vagabonds in Tudor folklore via Jonson’s masque, “Gypsies Metamorphosed”.

Annnnnd another teaser. In an extraordinary article, @SageSnayl considers Holland House in the 1650s as a site of performance, nostalgia for the pre-war King’s Men & resistance. Holland House’s principal proprietor, Isabel Rich, was a key patron of drama. Contains ace images too!

Another teaser…Justin Kuhn’s article, “Ladies Rampant: Thomas Middletown’s ‘Two New Playes’ in the English Republic” explores “More Dissemblers” & WBW printed in 1650s. Out of their Jacobean context, representation of women & gender-based hierarchies gain different signification

Not long until the distribution to members in good standing of our 2022 volume, @MariaShmygol's edition of Percy's The Aphrodysial. And as Percy almost certainly said at some point, it's never too late to become a member of the Malone Society... malonesociety.com/
