"Every early modern document is a record of complex relations between authors, printers, publishers, booksellers, dedicatees, polemical opponents, and so on," says 🤬🥓. (Credit: Wikimedia Commons, "network" ... )

Before sites like LinkedIn and Facebook, it was... so simple to map how people were talking to one another, forming social groups, and sharing beliefs and ideas.

THIS 🤬 website recreates the British early modern sociETY network to trace the personal relationships among figures like @frankbacon, Shakespeare, Isaac Newton, and many others.

The website lets anyone else interested in this period view and add to the network. The site currently identifies more than 13,000 individuals and highlights approximately 200,000 relationships.
