It’s Not a Shed in the Back Yard, It’s a Studiolo

This little mini post is serving two purposes. First, it’s to share this essay on private study spaces. I have a shed in my back yard where I work; it has my desk, a book case, and a sofa where my dog hangs out most of the day. It shall henceforth be known as a studiolo, thanks to Andrew Hui. He has a book on Renaissance libraries coming out next week, so if you like this excerpt published at The Public Domain Review, you can preorder the book from Bookshop.org (it’s an affiliate link to support The Wingback).

The second purpose is to try out a new short-post format on the blog and play with the layout to see how it looks. You, dear reader, probably won’t notice a difference. But I’ll be trying out new lewks while I prep some new material in the background. Will it be slow rollout of new material over the next few months, or a big splashy launch? Let’s find out together!
