So my update for this week: I'm hoping to dig in to Elizabeth I's writings. I'd love to finish the collection before my next advisor check-in in 2 weeks, but I'm not sure that's possible. At least I'd like to have read enough that I can pitch a possible paper topic. This week is not looking good, with voting research tonight and the watch-and-wait tomorrow. I'm hoping I can negotiate some kid-free work time this weekend.
Last week I got through Clifford, started on Elizabeth, and got some research and writing done about representations of motherhood and actual motherhood in the Renaissance. It seems like there may be newly published relevant primary sources out there, and at first glance the secondary sources look interesting but not overwhelming in number (yet).
And my new favorite YouTube-ish video is Stephen Greenblatt on the Colbert Report comparing the candidates to Shakespearean characters.
