When Moldovan Ministry of Culture writes about Shakespeare, it must mean that the International Shakespeare Festival is starting. Honoured to be in a place that has just proudly re-asserted democracy as so much more than words, words, words…#unitedshakespeare

It's out! 'Migrant Voices in Multilingual London, 1560-1600', open access in Transactions of the Royal Historical Society. Read to find out how insults and information moved between the city's languages, and to think about how linguistic diversity shaped urban life. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Early modern London was multilingual, and early modern urban life was shaped by linguistic diversity. This article draws on the multilingual archives of Elizabethan London's ‘stranger churches’ – Protestant congregations which catered to the needs of French-, Dutch- and Italian-speaking migrants (among others) – to explore how linguistic diversity shaped social relations.

By charting how linguistic diversity was part of the lives of ordinary Londoners in this period, including close examination of incidents of multilingual insult, slander, and conflict, this article argues that the civic and religious authorities relied on the stranger churches’ abilities to carry out surveillan
