My second, short article on music and diplomacy in early modern Savoy came out today! Fantastical court ballets, dramatic stage accidents, people irreverently dancing to viols on city walls during a siege…What more could one want from 17th-century diplomatic documents?!

Exciting news: my short book on Jesuit martyr plays is out today! And free to read for the next two weeks!
Happy Sunday! My article on travelogues is out! And open access ✨🌟🥂
Adore this
In case you're around @thehuntington.bsky.social this week, I'm giving a talk on Thursday at noon based on my recent Donne article. Performances by @alanamailes.bsky.social with GRAMMY-winning lutenist Stephen Stubbs. Should be fun! Hope to see you there!

Cannot wait to read!
Cover of the book “Unmasked: Lost Music for the 1613 Palatine Wedding Masques” (OUP, 2025).
Back cover with blurbs by Peter Holman, Peter Walls, Stephen Orgel, and Nadine Ackerman.
It’s here! My book on music for the 1613 Palatine wedding masques! With nice blurbs by some very knowledgeable people (who really did read the book)! With lots of music and a full-color insert! Enjoy!
Big news from 400 years ago! Turns out the 17th-century English musician and composer Richard Dering secretly converted to Catholicism and worked at the Venerable English College in Rome. Proud to publish the research I’ve done to unearth all of this with Maurice Whitehead.
So deeply sorry to hear it Jen. Sending all good thoughts to your family. 💕
