You can read an early version of the research (which is evolving all the time) here maryhamiltonpapers.alc.manch…. And if we’ve ever had a brief chat touching on this topic, it’s likely I might be in touch in early 2024… 👀

We have a new blog post from Christine Wallis, showing how enthusiastic her students got when introduced to the Mary Hamilton Papers, and the kinds of productive discoveries they made as a result.

Had a great time at our @Hamilton_Papers panel - thanks all for coming, stealing extra chairs, & making it a #SoldOutGig! Fascinating qs about how names indicate politeness, whether ‘compliments’ indicate a relationship, & Mary’s autocannibalistic manuscript books. #bsecs2023
