It's out! 'Migrant Voices in Multilingual London, 1560-1600' in Transactions of the Royal Historical Society. Read to find out how insults and information moved between the city's languages, and to think about how linguistic diversity shaped urban life. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Marvellous new article by @JoshuaRushton8 now out in Cultural & Social History — essential reading for anyone thinking about early modern Catholicism, shrines, miracles, emotions!
Delighted to share that my new article is now out with Cultural and Social History! It asks what made a shrine legitimate in early modern Catholicism arguing for the vital role of emotional practices for establishing spiritual certainty.

Just published online and open access: my article on the seventeenth-century celebrity language teacher Claude Mauger (and his books, students, and readers) in Early Modern French Studies. Loved giving this as my keynote at last year's @SEMFSUK conference! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

How do Christians navigate a world in which many different translations of the Bible coexist...or clash?
This blog post introduces my forthcoming article with The Historical Journal which asks how English Protestants responded to this problem 📔📔📔
