Conference cfp: Beyond Exceptionalism III (17-19 June 2026), Spain
Reminder to send your proposals by 31st Jan 2026 to beyondexceptionalism@gmail.com
Agreed - I am happy to know that we're basically all doing this, even when not visible on social media (there is a reality beside the internet - such a surprise for this early modernist ;) )
Actually, a question for your research area: does classroom teaching count as public debate?
I think, mostly early modernists are jealous that medievalists have these bibliographies.
As far as I am aware, it's more separated for early modernists, according to geography and language. There is the Bibliography of British and Irish History, there are bibliographies for German or HRE history
Isn't it part of our teaching to provide a variety of view points and to always keep everyone talking and thinking?! The only way to do this is to talk not just about the topics on the syllabus, but also about everything else of concern

As the world moves full speed into a more authoritarian future, a discussion of the structures and mechanisms of power delegation by sultans, emperors, and kings in #history could not be more relevant. Stay tuned for more details about this by-invitation-only conference. 27-29 May

We continue with asking researchers in #Monarchy&Money about what they're doing - the new episode with Veronika Hyden-Hanscho on 18th century noble families (Habsburg Empire) and their economic behaviour is out now: www.buzzsprout.com/1934722/epis... @royalstudies.bsky.social
Feel free to add Umlaute to the sheep-noises 😅 (it's Mäh in German) - although, if I remember correctly, the setting of the novel is actually in Ireland.
The book (which I read in its original German about 20 years ago) was fantastic - I think, it's been recently translated into English, and I would highly recommend it! The author is Leonie Swann, the book was called Glenkill in German (not sure about its English title)
It's the cover of my book! Showing a wax portrait half-length sculpture of Prince George in Roman costume and a fluffy blonde wig, encased in a painted gilded vitrine. The cover is black and bears the title in grey: The Grand Tour of Prince George of Denmark in England, 1669.
Hello new followers! Can I take this opportunity to flaunt the upcoming publication of my new book (on Feb 3rd), a critical edition of the Grand Tour diaries of George of Denmark, detailing his adventures in Restoration England in the summer of 1669? And here is a discount code! BB135
Here’s my list of things the public doesn’t seem to know, but historians broadly agree upon 👇

This gold medal was made to celebrate the Scottish coronation of King Charles II, which occurred at Scone Palace on this day in 1651. It was the last coronation to ever take place in Scotland. This gold specimen from the Hunterian is exceedingly rare, most were cast in silver.

A fantastic conference and discussions among medievalists has now seen the light of publication! (I sneaked in as an early modernist) It's all about the debate on the nation in medieval Europe - and here the whole of Europe incl. many (Eastern or Northern) polities often more sidelined in research.
