  • Absence and myopia in A-level coursework

      Teaching History article

  • Radicalism and its Results, 1760-1837

      Classic Pamphlet
    Radicalism with a large "R", unlike Conservatism with a large "C" and Liberalism with a large "L", is not a historical term of even proximate precision.

  • Transforming Year 11's conceptual understanding of change

      Teaching History article

In Anna Fielding's case, her pupil's misconception was related to...

  • Thomas Paine

      Pamphlet

  • Newcastle and the General Strike 1926

      Historian article
    The nine-day General Strike of May 1926 retains a totemic place in the nation's history nearly 100 years later.

  • The Early Mediaeval State

      Classic Pamphlet
    In order to define the constitution of a state, theorists and historians still apply Aristotle's categories; monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy.
