Welcome to day 10 of #LisaFest, which features the chapter by the excellent @drmirandafay.bsky.social. The chapter is the volume's primary discussion of Middleton, and Miranda's chapter is a worthy place for this discussion.

In the corpus of early modern witch plays, Middleton’s _The Witch_...

Welcome back to #LisaFest. Day 9 features the excellent Jessica Dyson, who has wrestled with some pirates and revealed what lies behind their boisterous personas.

The Golden Age of Piracy might be associated with the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, but for a nation proud of its...

Welcome to day 8 of #LisaFest, featuring the excellent Andrew Hiscock.

Andrew's chapter is the most Shakespeare-heavy in the volume (I have forgiven him tho), but in putting Shakey's Coriolanus in dialogue with Alexandre Hardy’s contemporary Coriolan, he emphasises the shared source material for...

Very grateful to Matt for this write-up of my chapter for #LisaFest. It was a lot of fun to think about these four plays collectively, and I loved feeling like I was (somewhat successfully) channelling Lisa in parts. 🥰

For Day 7 of #lisafest, I’m stepping in to talk about @aidannorrie.bsky.social's fabulous chapter, “On the Edge of History: Elizabeth I on the Jacobean and Caroline Stage”.

...further context to the depiction of apprenticeship in the play, and I am sure they will be an extremely useful resource for all of us.

Tune in tomorrow, when @matthewsteggle.bsky.social will be taking over #LisaFest to do the thread on my chapter 🥰

Welcome to day 6 of #LisaFest, where we will be looking at @lucycmunro.bsky.social's excellent chapter.

Whenever I think of The Knight of the Burning Pestle, I always think of Lucy, so it was wonderful to have her contribution be on the play!

The chapters in the volume thus far have been...

For day 5 of #LisaFest, I am delighted to be sharing the chapter by my partner-in-crime for this endeavour.

@matthewsteggle.bsky.social's fabulous chapter is on the various stories about an overlooked Arthurian figure, Chinon.

In addition to the excellent nod to Bridget Jones, Matt applies his...

For day 4 of #LisaFest, we have Andrew Duxfield's excellent chapter on water in Marlowe’s Edward II and Drayton’s Mortimeriados.

For Andrew, Marlowe's works show a consistent interest in water: while scholars have noted his "engagement with cartography", there has been less interest in what...

Welcome to #LisaFest day 3, where today's chapter is by @obscuredrama.bsky.social. One of two Marlowe chapters in the volume, Tom's has the suitably scintillating title, 'Faustus on the Edge of the Universe'.

Like @racheljwillie.bsky.social's chapter, Tom's chapter picks up on the imagery of...

Welcome to October (the best month of the year, imho) and day 2 of #LisaFest. Today's chapter is by the thoroughly excellent @racheljwillie.bsky.social, who has been a constant source of support and sanity throughout.

Rachel's chapter focuses on Lyly's _The Woman in the Moon_, a neglected...

The first chapter of #LisaFest is by the excellent (and fellow Antipodean) @billangus.bsky.social. Coming up with the order for chapters can be tricky, but I always knew I wanted Bill's to open the collection.

In addition to the pleasingly perfect alliteration of its title, Bill's chapter covers...
