And since AtWS is back to stalling me, and I'm still waiting for Undertow to click, (though I need to get back to that soon)... I guess it's back to the Land of Will & Kit's Bogus Journey.
I know you all were desperately missing the endless ponderings on the fine legal details of Elizabethan sodomy and witchcraft laws, and the clever icons featuring Elizabethan quotes about the devil.
I guess that means I should get cracking on the current pile of books on Tudor stage and society, and plow through the rest of the Jonson and Dekker and Kyd and Fletcher (et al) heaped in my to-read mountain. Mmm. And just think, once I'm done with Shakespeare: a Biography, Poet & Spy will be along any moment.
You know, it feels good to have picked a direction.
(Which also means any of all y'all who were sitting on manuscript comments until the time was ripe... the time is ripe. Get 'em in.)
