      Primary History article
    Please note: this article pre-dates the 2014 National Curriculum and some content may be outdated.

  • Have gun, will travel: The myth of the frontier in the Hollywood Western

      Historian article
    The Western movies that from around 1910 until the 1960s made up at least a fifth of all the American film titles on general release signified escapist entertainment for British audiences: an alluring vision of vast open spaces, of cowboys on horseback outlined against an imposing landscape. For Americans themselves,...

  • Out and about in Martinsthorpe: a walk in the country

      Historian feature
    History is nothing if not an exercise in informed imagination.

  • The Medieval Empire
