Why write history?
"Non-fiction books are crucial for preserving stories about women and men who make ground-breaking changes in the world," says Geraldine Roberts.
She reflects on the experience of researching her new book, The Rebel and the Peacemaker: historiamag.com/joys-challen…

"The Angel and the Cad:Love, Loss and Scandal in Regency England" by @_GerryRoberts is my book of the year.
Forget Jane Austin, where all stories end with a marriage. The real life is much more unfair.If you didn't read this book, you definitely don't understand the Regency era.

Thank you so much @HiPSToursLDN for a fascinating talk on the memorials at St Mary's in Wanstead and the role these figures played in the Atlantic Slave Trade. Such exciting research!

Ugh. #BlueMonday 🙄
To help, we’ve enlisted resourceful royal Elizabeth I, who chased away ‘melancholy’ with a whole host of entertaining (and socially-distance-able!) pursuits.
Here are Elizabeth’s top tips for beating the blues today👇 (THREAD)

Tomorrow is the official publication date for my Time Traveller's Guide to Regency Britain. It's just beginning its long voyage out into the future, across the deep ocean of time, and so it seems fit to launch it on its way with a clip of me reading the last passage of the book.

Can't believe its 5 years on Sunday since Lisa Jardine passed away. The Guardian rightly described her as 'the leading British female public intellectual of our times.' To me she was just a truly lovely person. How we could do with her insights now.

Can any of you lovely cultural historians recommend any articles on celebrity and secrecy.
I am adding a chapter to my thesis to buff it up for possible publication & would love to learn about 'secret' as opposed to the private & public lives of celebrities
Please RT and share!!
