Evelyn Welch

Thank you so much for an amazing day!

I didn't know about Marasol Escobar and her work before, so this remarkable exhibition at the @louisianamuseum.bsky.social near Copenhagen has been a real eye opener. It shows the complexity of the work she did from the 1960s and 70s and just how hard it was to be a female artist at the time.

The Warburg makes its late night debut ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ took an unexpected turn with Florence Welch’s recent shout-out to Aby Warburg’s unique book classification system

Love this @warburginstitute.bsky.social !

A shoutout for @evelynwelch.bsky.social from Seth Meyers to brighten up a very wintery Wednesday in Manchester👋

Support Late Night television, support academic research!

Evelyn's latest book Renaissance Skin is available now in a beautifully illustrated paperback: bit.ly/3JIfNn0

We loved hearing Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine talk about using the Warburg Library while researching for her new album on @latenightseth.bsky.social 💫

Congratulations to Florence on the release of Everybody Scream!

Watch “Evelyn’s daughter” (from 2:40): youtu.be/M_mc_gErXX0?...

Honestly @manchesterup.bsky.social get in those YouTube comments, babes.

LOL. At this point Seth Meyers should just throw a link to @evelynwelch.bsky.social’s latest book in the video description: manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526167750/ 😅

(New reaction gif for all #EarlyModern purposes though)

Cover of JOAD RAYMOND WREN: The Great Exchange Making the News in Early Modern Europe

#onmydesktoday is a big and timely book about European communication by the great Joad Raymond Wren. Exploring a world of #earlymodern newsmongers, translators and postmasters, Joad highlights that news moved and were shared, and that news binds us together. Good news for #skystorians.

Lady Bindloss Buys Some Books (1676) Of the various kinds of documents that provide evidence of book ownership in the early modern period, purchase records are among the scarcest survivals: most booklists take the form of wills, inven…

Fantastic post on the blog today by Joe Black, who discusses Lady Bindloss's booklist--evidence of what books she bought, how she ordered them from London, and even how she shelved them by color earlymodernfemalebookownership.wordpress.com/2025/08/20/l... #EarlyModern #HerBook

The Island of Hermaphrodites – Simple Book Publishing A scandal in its time and a revelation today, this fearless satire blends courtly decadence with political rebellion in an imagined world of unchecked power.

Congratulations @craigclunas.bsky.social! So glad you got the grant to support images - it does seem that we have moved away from the movement of a few years ago to make images free for academic books.
