People are complaining about no good leftist analysis on the riots in France. Don’t do that. Read these instead.

Hutchinson’s daughter Barbara married a Jamaica planter, who bequeathed her a share in his ‘stock and negroes’.

Our final autumn online lecture is thus Thursday, 11 December, in which Professor Holly Brewer will be looking at the growth of the slave trade in the mid-1600s and how this was refelected in portraits of the period. More details at: cromwellmuseum.org/events/sl…

Working on Lucy Hutchinson's translation of "De rerum natura" (I worked with the manuscript last month at the BL; very fortunate to find a copy of the scholarly edition on my third day in Tokyo @kitazawa_books). Also: this desert appeared a lot smaller on the menu, but if I must.

Complex, convoluted, startling: Felicity Sheehy’s new edition of Hester Pulter’s emblem on jealousy shows it—both the poem and jealousy itself—to be all these things:

Will be on BBC R4’s Start the Week on Monday, 9am. ‘historian John Rees focuses on the group of firebrand parliamentarians at the heart of the English Civil Wars. The Fiery Spirits describes how the radicals influenced other MPs & led to the defeat, and execution, of Charles I.’

Caesar was all: the Senate sit to beare
Witnesse of private power, and grant what ere
He please to aske; Crownes, Temples, their owne bloud
Or banishment.
Lucy Hutchinson is likely to have read, in Latin or in the translation of Thomas May, whose History she used, the passage in Lucan’s Pharsalia where Caesar raids the treasury, a key moment in his coup (iii.108-11):
the scholarly depth of the OED: print editions of the Memoirs down to 1973 omitted large sections of the MS; when Sutherland's edition of the MS appeared, the OED replaced all the entries based on the earlier editions (previous entry seen here).
The Oxford English Dictionary on Lucy Hutchinson's use of 'zealot' - which interestingly can be positive or negative. This is one of nearly 100 citations from the Memoirs in the OED, an ongoing miracle of scholarship.
Wonderful exhibition of Esther Inglis (her anagram: 'Resisting hel') at the Folger ending 9 February. Here, astonishing reconstruction of a binding. Online at
