Carlevarijs painted the Venetian ambassador’s arrival in London in 1707 too. A fun pair!

From harem to hammam: How the Turks transformed Britain

Under the influence of the Turks, whether Ottoman or not, England acquired magnificent rugs, better baths, the smallpox vaccine and a profusion of pub names, as Lucien de Guise reveals

Went to see the lovely Churchill exhibition at The Wallace Collection this afternoon. Very well worth a visit. (And the Court Yard restaurant is a delight.)

A piece for @EngelsbergIdeas on my old favourite Catherine of Siena - underrated political thinker and icon of Renaissance art. engelsbergideas.com/portrait…

Catherine of Siena, saint and stateswoman

Best known as a saint and mystic, Catherine of Siena was also an influential political thinker who sought to reshape civic life in the Italian city states.

One of the most fascinating history books which portrays from an interesting angle the Battle of Lepanto and the role of the Albanian aristocratic family Bruni-Bruti in the service of Papacy, Spain, Venice, Britain and Ottoman Empire. So well written that it feels like fiction.

Publication Day! "The Spirit of the British Constitution: Parliamentary Reform from the Civil War to the Great Reform Act" (@PrincetonUPress) has now been released in the US. The idea for the book started with an article I drafted on the Tories and the Septennial Act in 2016 (published in HPT in 2019), so one could say that it has been a decade in the making. But I completed this book as a proud faculty member of @ufhamilton since 2023. I would like to thank all my friends and colleagues at Hamilton, and around the world. press.princeton.edu/books/ha…

The Spirit of the British Constitution
