Quick video from the bookshop reacting to two very exciting Shakespeare developments from Matthew Steggle and 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐲-𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬! #edinburgh #BookTwitter youtu.be/4zhXbTb236I?si…

Alice Mustian has won a prize! She would be delighted, and so are we.

Oops, they did it again!

Congratulations to @ProfFarahKC and also to Folger Shakespeare Library! And also congratulations to Shakespeare’s Globe for helping to develop such a fabulous Shakespeare expert.

Very much looking forward to this. My paper features Marlowe, flying fish, dragons, and a jumbo jet.

An honour to have a short article in History Today.

I love this joke, like a short circuit between Mustian’s small neighbourhood world and the pro theatre she is (we argue) consciously emulating. And surely she has at least heard of Hamlet, a big success now 10 years old. V much Eoin Price territory.

Could a text thought to be by #Shakespeare’s father actually be his sister’s writing? 🔓 Matthew Steggle’s recent History Matters is free to read for the next 7 days buff.ly/4cieSm4

This is really good - an evocative story told through clever, dogged detective work, feeding a subtle, even-handed discussion of the narratives around archival discovery. Fabulous stuff from @ZacharyLesser and Whitney Trettien.

Morbid and bizarre q: anyone know of any renaissance images which show an explosion, ideally one with body parts flying off in all directions? It’s for The Marlowe Society of America at Deptford, unsurprisingly…

Heading to Deptford! #marlowe24

“He’s up there! He’s up there! I can see him!”

Heading home from #marlowe24. Only regret is not getting to say hello properly to tweeps inc Rachel Willie, @earlymodatLancs , and Eoin Price. Footsore, underslept, and enthused. Congratulations to the organisers.

👀 it’s publication month for “Thomas Nashe and Literary Performance”! manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526149466

Paleography question! Mr Sharowe asked --- wt securitie he should have for it. What’s the missing word?

Wow!

This is a pleasure to read.

Delighted to have some Shakespeare work of mine feature in Guardian today. More info in Bluesky (place also works really well and is not owned by a twit). theguardian.com/culture/2025/a…

Delighted to say that my article, "The Shakspaires of Trinity Lane: A Possible Shakespeare Life-Record" is now fully published and open-access! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Impressive work from FRANCE 24 English and Gavin Lee on the Shakspaire letter.
