Hello -- for those of you headed north this spring, I wanted to call attention to a paper by Irish historian-archaeologist John Bradley on Sir Henry Sidney that may otherwise slip under the radar screen.  (Bradley spoke on Ormond at the Spenser Cambridge conference, as you may recall.)  Unfortunately it conflicts with one of the Sidney-at-Kalamazoo sessions (Friday 1:30) but too much Sidney is better than too little, I would think.

All the best, Thomas Herron
