The central chapter, 'Inky cloak', considers cloaks, mourning dress & funerals, prologues & paratexts, black pages, black wrappers, & the inky traffic between page & stage. Mostly Hamlet, but framed with Middleton's Black Book, with cameo appearances by the Field brothers (Nathan & Theophilus) 6/10

9/ "So, there we were. A group of Black Americans confronted with all these dead white Americans… When they were alive, we couldn’t sit in the same room."

Omg Ben Jonson told William Drummond that Donne should be hanged for this poem and Drummond wrote that shit down and published it???? 💀💀💀💀💀

Thank god Ben and Bill did not have social media??

As someone born and raised in the StL area, I like to hold on to the fact that at least the flag is good.

Thank you! I sincerely appreciated all of your feedback and questions and general enthusiasm for my presentation 😊
