🇹🇷 19 Mayıs Atatürk'ü Anma, Gençlik ve Spor Bayramımız Kutlu Olsun 🇹🇷

Yüksek lisans ve doktora öğrencilerimiz, Dr. Öğr. Üyesi Nilgün Firidinoğlu rehberliğinde yıl boyunca yürüttükleri çalışmalarını “Lisansüstü Seminer Sunumları: Tiyatro Tarihi” başlıklı etkinlikte sundular. Tüm katılımcılara ve konuşmacılara teşekkür ederiz.

now that the milton news is out, i want to stress that this work would not be possible w/o financial & institutional support of collaborative open-ended scholarship in the humanities, nor would it be possible w/o investments in vital public library infrastructures. #fundlibraries

Fingers crossed for the upcoming conference at 2 pm Turkish time as part of the festival @basakergil and Murat Öğütcü. Don't forget to grab your coffee at the Shakesperesso before coming in:)

It has been a pleasure to talk at this year's Shakespeare In Turkey festival. Thank you so much İlker Özçelik for your kind hospitality. Also many thanks to the audience members for their insightful questions in the Q&A

🧵

Milton’s annotations in this copy of Holinshed's CHRONICLES show the development of his republican thought. Other marginalia include cross-references to books we know he read (including Spenser) & a compelling instance of him censoring Holinshed's text for content and style.
