Fittingly for #LGBTplusHM šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆ, my article on the salon of seventeenth-century queer icon Hortense Mancini is out online with @SEMFS! It explores her salon, her bisexuality, & a poem by her fellow exile & bisexual Saint-Ɖvremond on lesbian hens 🐄.

When I started working on Hortense Mancini nine years ago, every book said that (almost) none of her letters had survived. Since then, I’ve managed to find about seventy… transcribed them, translated them, and proofs are now here! šŸ˜āœØšŸ˜­

Happily made it to ā€˜Rise Up’ @FitzMuseum_UK today. The beautiful double portrait of Dido Belle and Elizabeth Murray is even more gorgeous irl. And loved seeing all the playbills advertising Ira Aldridge as Othello, Macbeth & King Lear šŸŽ­

So happy to see this out in the world! Our Special Issue explores displacement & innovation, interrogates the term 'exile', & foregrounds interdisciplinarity as a method especially apt for exile studies where border-crossings converge. Thank you to all our contributors ✨.
