- Reposted by Elizabeth Montagu's Correspondence Online (EMCO)Welcome! We're a digital project @bristolunienglish.bsky.social bringing together and promoting the correspondence of the celebrated playwright, poet, abolitionist, philanthropist, moralist and educationalist Hannah More (1745-1833). Please follow and repost for updates!
- 📣📣 We're very excited to share the publication of a new set of letters between Elizabeth Montagu and Benjamin Stillingfleet, now available on our website: emco.swansea.ac.uk/emco/corresp...
- These letters have been edited by the wonderful Nicholas Seager and @emmastanbridge.bsky.social, and explore the candid yet intellectual friendship Montagu and Stillingfleet shared.
- In their introduction to these papers, Seager and Stanbridge draw attention to Montagu's esteem for her friend, writing on his death in 1772: "I feel the loss of a Person who sincerely loved me, & never lost an opportunity of doing me any service of pleasure."
- Our very own @absham.bsky.social has been working alongside Newcastle Cathedral to display an exhibition all about letters and the post in the eighteenth-century North East which is now up and able to be viewed until the end of May!
- This is a fantastic read! And an excellent use of some of the letter on our website, the Lord Bath section has recently been edited by Markman Ellis and is in the process of going live!
