Due to the ongoing travel restrictions and disruption caused by Covid-19, a number of book launches and other events of interest to our members have been cancelled or postponed. In what the SRS hopes will become a regular series, we have invited Erin A. McCarthy, author of Doubtful Readers: Print, Poetry, and the Reading Public in Early Modern England to discuss her work with friends, colleagues and well-wishers, in lieu of the book launch that was due to be held at the Renaissance Society of America annual meeting in Philadelphia on 2 April 2020.
