Extra points for the fact that it looks like a delicious chocolate biscuit.

What a great topic! This is lovely news to hear.

A (not too grim) blog post about my book for @universitypress.cambridge.org, featuring biscuits and Frodo Baggins! #cambridgeuniversitypress #hobbits #shakespeare

Wonderful news!

Awful news, but a lovely tribute.

All historians know the sinking feeling of tracking an "authoritative" reference back through several generations of writers to an unsourced assertion by someone nobody's ever heard of.

Now AI can make up new ones in no time at all.

What a great opportunity.

Excellent news!!!

Decades of mechanistic talk about university degrees as if they were bundles of 'skills' and 'prep' are about to be proved completely wrong (obviously). Want to get a real boost? Do History or English.

Chips, cheese, and gravy! Love that wee train dog as well.

Thanks, Brett! I hope you're enjoying the ANZSA conference.

Thanks, John. I'd love to read what you are working on when it comes out.

Thanks so much, Helen. Congrats to you on your edition of Margaret Tudor's letters!

Thanks so much, Kristen. I hope you like it.

You get a special little mention in the book's preface, by the way.

Thanks, Patrick!

Many thanks, Liz. I hope it reads well too!

Thanks, Anna. It will be great to see you!
