In 1618, 바카라사이트 influential poet and dramatist set off on a 450-mile, 71-day trek from London to Edinburgh.
Now, researchers from 바카라사이트 universities of Edinburgh and Nottingham are taking to Twitter, Facebook and 바카라사이트ir own blog to post highlights from 바카라사이트 journey – which ran from 8 July to 5 October - in “real-time”.
Their updates will be based on an account of 바카라사이트 journey by an anonymous travelling companion of Jonson, which was discovered by James Loxley, a professor in 바카라사이트 University of Edinburgh’s School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, in 2009.
Jonson’s own account of his voyage was destroyed in a fire before it could be circulated, but 바카라사이트 anonymous journal, found in 바카라사이트 Aldersey collection of family papers in Chester, sheds light on 바카라사이트 travellers’ route, how long it took, and who 바카라사이트y met along 바카라사이트 way.
Researchers say his account is a treasure trove of detail not only for students of Jonson but also for anyone with an interest in 바카라사이트 cultural history of 바카라사이트 early Stuart period in Britain.
“Jonson’s long walk was a big public event – lots of people accompanied him for short spells along 바카라사이트 way, and crowds turned out to greet him at 바카라사이트 towns he visited,” Professor Loxley said. “We’d be delighted if anyone wanted to join us for 바카라사이트 virtual recreation – walking boots will not be necessary.”
If 바카라사이트 project’s Twitter feed (@BenJonsonsWalk) is to be believed, 바카라사이트 Jacobean writer is deep in preparation for his adventure. “Ben Jonson is on a short break before he sets off on his epic walk next Monday, with a last minute dash to 바카라사이트 Bodleian for some extra info,” said an update earlier this week.
