Sidney Society Online (http://www.english.cam.ac.uk/sidney/society.htm)
Sidney Society Twitter (@SidneySociety) (https://twitter.com/SidneySociety)


II. Institutes and Journals:

The Collation (The Folger’s blog)  (collation.folger.edu)
-- shares images of all kinds of treasures from The Folger's collection, with an understandable focus on bibliography and book-making; plus, they run a fun series of bibliographic mysteries called "What manner o' thing is your crocodile?"

Iter Announcements Service (www.itergateway.org/announcements)
-- exactlywhat the title implies: just a basic list of the newest Iter book releases and awards, though the main Iter site is a          more expansive "gateway to the Middle Ages and Renaissance"

Early Modern Online Bibliography (earlymodernonlinebib.wordpress.com)
-- "This weblog was created by Anna Battigelli (SUNY Plattsburgh) and Eleanor Shevlin (West Chester University of Pennsylvania) to facilitate scholarly feedback and discussion pertaining to valuable online text-bases for the humanities, such as EEBO, ECCO, and the Burney Collection.  Of particular interest are bibliographical problems encountered while using these text-bases. Also of interest are the consequences new digital tools present for the humanities,specifically their impact on teaching and research in the field of early modern studies"

Journal of the Northern Renaissance (www.northernrenaissance.org)
-- "a peer-reviewed, open-access online journal dedicated to the study of both the cultural productions and the concept of the Northern Renaissance."

Upstart: A Journal of English Renaissance Studies (http://www.clemson.edu/upstart/index.html)

The Appendix (http://theappendix.net/blog)
"The Appendix is a quarterly journal of experimental and narrative history; though at times outlandish, everything in its pages is as true as the sources allow. The Appendix solicits articles from historians, writers, and artists committed to good storytelling, with an eye for the strange and a suspicion of both jargon and traditional narratives. A creature of the web, its format takes advantage of the flexibility of hypertext and modern web presentation techniques to experiment with and explore the process and method of writing history."


III. Personal Blogs:

-- podcasts, essays, and beautiful graphs of early modern social networks, including networks of letter writers; is open to quantititave and high-tech analysis of early modern stuff

the Zeugmatic (zeugmatic.org)
-- MichaelUllyot's project seeking "to automate the detection of rhetorical figures, or the patterns of repetition and variation that make language — especially poetic language — memorable and effective."

Yours,
Brad
