Where to start with such an exciting issue of Parergon? Horses anyone? Pia F. Cuneo's open access article looks at Hans Baltung's puzzling woodcuts of cavorting horses: "Art, Sex, and Science: Talking about Horses in Hans Baldung's 1534 Woodcuts".

What exactly is 'agency'? And how has women's agency figured in early modern cultural and economic history in recent decades? These are good questions! Happily, Merry Wiesner-Hanks has turned herself to the task of answering them in her article in issue 40.2 .

We have one last article from volume 40 to tell you about, and it's on a fascinating subject. In it, Veronica Alfano and Louise D'Arcens examine the kangaroo-hide-bound Kelmscott Chaucer housed in State Library of NSW as a hybridised cultural artefact.

When are birds not birds? When they're allegories for love and sexual desire (obviously). In her article in our latest issue, Ashleigh Green examines this practice, common in early modern English literature, and traces its links to classical metaphors.
