Historic Libraries Forum Lambeth Palace Library has an extensive collection of books on magic and witchcraft including the only surviving copy of this 1589 pamphlet, ‘The apprehension and confession of three notorious witches’ [ZZ]1597.15.03 #HistLibChallenge #SpookySpecialCollections

And finally in issue 54.2, Katherine Calloway on an unexplored facet of John Donne's reception in the later 17th Century: "Sackbut of Israel: John Donne and English Nonconformity, 1650-1700."

Issue 54.2 is, in other words, an excellent example of what makes English Literary Renaissance an expansive, eclectic, and inclusive forum for new research. We hope you'll read, and learn, and continue to think of us as a possible home for your work. Keep an eye out for Issue 54.3!

My article on Henry Neville and racial biopolitics is now out on ELR! Thank you so much to everyone who read early drafts and a big thank you to my editors at English Literary Renaissance and to Jane Hwang Degenhardt journals.uchicago.edu/toc/elr/current

It's Autumn! With this in mind, ELR has published its autumn issue, which is a special one. The topic: "Expanding the Canon for Early Modern Race Studies." Expand the screenshot below for the full TOC, and read!journals.uchicago.edu/toc/elr/2024/5…

This issue wouldn't have happened at all without younger scholars working in exciting ways at the margins of the early modern canon. ELR continues to encourage submissions on race-thinking and related topics across our period. A link, again: journals.uchicago.edu/toc/elr/2024/5…

Adding to my reading list...
