Written at sea in 1632, Walter Mountfort's The Launching of the Mary hasn't seen a London stage for almost 400 years.

Another excellent year of #EMROCTranscribes, this year at Birkbeck with a great group who enjoyed Zooming with transcribers @rcphysicians.bsky.social & elsewhere and the thought-provoking talk on the history of #earlymodern abortion from @maryfissell.bsky.social. Thanks as always to EMROC … (1/2)!

Really excited to soon be in Boston for RSA/SAA 2025!
I'll be talking on London, nautical bookshops, and the writing of place, alongside the brilliant @clairerichie.bsky.social and Francesca Bua.
With many thanks to Peter Good for chairing and the London Renaissance Seminar for sponsoring!
