New song released for "What is #DigitalHumanities? The Album":

Epistolary (networks)

Read, sing along, or download the TEI at https://what-is-dh-the-album.netlify.app/vol-01/epistolary/

My favourite part of this one is the bridge. Many thanks to Dr Ingeborg van Vugt for providing the metrically perfect example of Magliabechi as a broker in the Republic of Letters.

2) but before the #Enlightenment there was the #RepublicOfLetters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Letters

The word Letters here doesn't mean the study of literature, but actual letters that were written and exchanged in that community dispersed over Europe and the Americas

I suspect that

<hash>TheRepublicOfMicroblogPosts won't get much traction.

But it's a start in the right direction I guess /end

@tomaashby Welcome! I’ve always been fascinated by the #RepublicOfLetters: www.republic of letters.stanford.edu
