A slight variation from a previously promised topic, but I have news!

The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston is currently showing the Magna Carta, signed in 1215 at Runnymeade by King John. Basically, it limited the monarch’s power so that individual rights could be protected.

And basically that spawned our own Declaration of Independence, and THIS IS A COOL DOCUMENT SO YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT.

Those who know me well will by now have guessed-absolutely corecctly–that I freaked out when I heard the news.

Literary and historical news is always exciting.

So head out to the MFA today and check it out!
