It’s a great rabbit hole, Kit, I’ve been down here awhile! Especially in Shakespeare. And keeping time gets more interesting realizing clock-time is just one of several competing techniques. There’s also task-oriented timekeeping, for instance. Happy to send some articles of mine + other recs!

Power, Horology and Imperial Doubt: Reimagining Time in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream - Shakespeare Survey 78
Shakespeare Survey 78 - October 2025
YES! And the earlier we go, the more we can see mechanized timekeeping devices as objects that are about working out the relationship between human ingenuity, time, world (says the biased early modernist- lol). I’ve written a little about this in A Midsummer Night’s Dream doi.org/10.1017/9781...

Academic article proofs: does anybody else experience intense terror-laced-regret about your decision to write anything about any topic ever…with just a whiff of joy/relief mixed in… upon receipt of these things? Or just me?!

Perspective from this Shakespeare scholar turned office worker: lit class is still off-beat training for other skills (not that this connection is being convincingly claimed, from what I’ve seen).

#shax2025 —wonder what it’s like to work in the corporate world while still endeavoring to actively research & publish in the field? I’m doing it (admittedly imperfectly) and happy to talk. Let’s connect in Boston!

#shax2025 PSA: flying United? Ralph Fiennes as Macbeth is on the in air entertainment. 😱 Please watch. And then find me in Boston so we can break it down with the kind of exhausting granularity only a couple of Shakes-nerds would enjoy.

As if Jeffrey Cohen hasn’t given us enough reasons to admire him as a scholar and academic leader, now this!
Love the honesty…as I read his post right after I started a list of words from my earlier writing I hope never to catch myself using again!

Universities are in crisis. We have forgotten that the only way to prepare for the future is to imagine the human in situations yet unknown and to explore the boundaries of the human condition. A focus on economic gain loses sight of all that might be possible.
