Now it's Dr Imy (she/her) who is looking at emotional responses to suicidal intent in British supernatural narratives in the early modern period

Now it's Dr Emily Vine - find me @emilymayvine.bsky.social and @foxvshedgehog who are part of the Social Bodies in British Letters, 1680-1820 project. They are speaking on 'Embodying Happiness in Everyday Eighteenth-Century Letters'

Really great discussion from @foxvshedgehog - letters represent a relationship, as much as (or more than) they represent an emotion. It's important to think about the role and function of the letter

Now a fascinating discussion of Mary Canning's remarkable letter-memoir which was sent to George Canning by @Smudge2492 - certainly 'an impassioned emotional defence' of her role as his mother

Emotion, Embodiment and the Everyday, c.1500-1800 was fantastic! Such a rich array of papers and perspectives and it was so lovely to finally meet people in person again! Thanks to Ella Sbaraini and Dr Emma Marshall for organising it 👏

Had a terrific face to face conference experience thanks to Ella Sbaraini & Dr Emma Marshall and all speakers at Emotion, Embodiment and the Everyday, c.1500-1800. Learned a great deal. (And I got a box of chocs and a bottle of wine!)

Just arrived back home after yesterday's excellent Emotion, Embodiment and the Everyday, c.1500-1800 conference. Hearing about so much fantastic research and seeing people face-to-face (!!!) was so special - thank you Dr Emma Marshall and Ella Sbaraini for putting together such a wonderful event 🌟

Today the team are back at their desks after a couple of days in beautiful Cambridge. We so enjoyed speaking at the wonderful Emotion, Embodiment and the Everyday, c.1500-1800 conference
