[Cross-posted at Revise and Dissent.] The British contingent of the historioblogosphere has swung into action upon hearing that their government is planning to pardon over 300 soldiers executed during the First World War. I have little to add to what everyone is saying (broadly, that such a blanket pardon rides roughshod over a complex situation […]
Andy leaps to the defence of Sir Leo Chiozza Money with an erudite, witty and cogent comment. For the record, however, I do not wear sandels or even sandals. Make of that what you will. Esther attracts a higher class of clientele, but still, it’s a start!
[Cross-posted at Revise and Dissent.] … I’m a bad historian! No, well, actually, I have a post included in the latest Carnival of Bad History, which may or may not mean the same thing. Head on over to Hiram Hover’s place and decide for yourself — and while you’re there, make sure you sample the

I was extremely flattered to be asked, along with a number of very fine history bloggers, by Cliopatria’s Ralph Luker to participate in a new group blog at the History News Network. We’ve called it Revise and Dissent and it’s been up and running for nearly a week now! Unfortunately, its launch has coincided with
Welcome to History Carnival 31! Mr Wells’ celebrated Time Traveller voyaged into the distant future, but we will have the levers on our time machine set firmly in the reverse position — less chance of running into a Morlock that way. To help us navigate the currents and eddies of the historical ether, we read
I have been finishing off a long-ish post that I’ve been meaning to write for a while, but now I don’t think I will post it. This is because I came to realise that it’s actually stuff I want to write about more formally at some stage, in my thesis or in a paper. Generally
