Some post #Authenticity23 thoughts after Alastair Minnis’ keynote - discussing the shifting meaning of authenticity from medieval, to post-Romanticism, to now - to ‘brand authenticity’, ‘authentic leadership’, and the hollowing out of the word

A huge thank you to @RebeccaMenmuir and her team for organising the most incredible conference. So many stimulating papers, which all differed from one another yet intersected in many ways. I'm excited to incorporate what we've all discussed in my future work! @Authenticity23
#FakeFriday in London, at Contesting Authenticity in Literature, 1200-1700, with a paper by yours truly about the new collection of early modern Dutch forgeries @ubleiden and #thefakerepublic. It was a wonderful conference, with brilliant papers and amazing scholars!
