Hoorah! Yours is such a fabulous chapter! Well done for getting it out there @boydellandbrewer.bsky.social! We hope to use it to do a little something on the vibrancy of early modern history next term at Warwick @emeccwarwick.bsky.social (the wondrous @naomipullin.bsky.social is working on it).

I know it’s been out for a bit but my copy of From the Margins to the Centre in 17th Century England arrived today and looks fabulous and wilful some essays I can’t wait to dive into @angelamcshane.bsky.social
