EarlyModernista
@ellierycroft.bsky.social
Associate Professor in Early Modern Performance at University of Bristol: early modern bodies, PaR, gender. Formerly thinking about hair, now thinking about walking: also defining 'the Predramatic'. Teacher, cat-lover, writer, and mum, in varying measures.
actually wrote about Romeo and Hamlet...there. Entering more of a flow state means I'm loath to interrupt it by going to the gym. But this is ironic, as one of the things I am thinking about is how you cannot analyse early modern exercise without considering its relationships with work, and rest.

Agree! Also, I loved your Not Just the Tudors episode which I listened to while cooking tonight. Absolutely brilliant! Desperate to look at the BL manuscript with the collected 'monsters' - just to clarify, did you say that one of Pepys' servants assembled it or did I misunderstand?
