In the 1790s a London woman named Eliza Denyer developed a modest reputation as a restorer of medieval manuscripts. She was forgotten by scholars and, in one case, her restorations were deliberately replaced by a man’s. I recovered her story & tracked all her known work here: tinyurl.com/2ktztx2e

Did you publish a book of criticism in 2024? We’re awarding a prize to the best book on the contemporary arts—broadly conceived, and from anywhere in the world!

pls share & help & point me in the right directions: would be interested in reading about what history means in history of performance research (methodological, theoretical), early modern and beyond – recommendations very welcome!
