A vertically oriented rectangular graphic features the decorated title page of John Smith’s 1626 book “The Generall Historie of Virginia, New-England, and the Summer Isles” set against a dark red background.

Why We Need Historical Fiction Written by Women - Women Writers, Women's Books : Women Writers, Women's Books
by Patricia Furstenberg While I wrote When Secrets Bloom I asked myself, what happens when women take history into their own hands, pen first? In this deeply personal post, I explore why historical fiction written by women matters more than ever, especially when it brings to light forgotten voices from war and the medieval past. […]

Exciting news, Bluesky! I’m editing a new book series for Bloomsbury with Tom Mole and Lisa Gitelman: Book History for the Future! Do you focus on material textual artifacts and innovative methodologies? We’re actively soliciting proposals, so give us a shout! www.bloomsbury.com/media/cecjzl...
BLOOMSBURY ACADEMIC NEW SERIES Book History for the Future SERIES EDITORS: Lisa Gitelman, New York University, USA Tom Mole, Durham University, UK Sarah Werner, Independent Researcher, USA Book History for the Future aims to define the cutting edge for a new generation of book historians, as book history enters a new chapter of its evolution. Books sit at a densely trafficked intersection of social relations, status negotiations, emotional investments, material possibilities, desires, aspirations, and dreams. They require an intellectual approach grounded in attention to physical artefacts and material conditions while also engaged in theoretical reflection, attentive to historical contexts while attuned to contemporary resonances. This series publishes books that eschew academic parochialism in favour of adventurous engagements with new theoretical developments, innovative methodologies, digital tools, and global contexts.
