  • Henry VIII

      Classis Pamphlet

  • Cavour and Italian Unification

      Classic Pamphlet
    It may seem a little perverse to write a pamphlet on Cavour in 1972, the centenary year of the death of Mazzini, but no doubt there will be more than one publication on Mazzini to mark the occasion. To pretend that the two men had much in common would be...

He argues that understanding interpretation requires students to...

  • Polychronicon 142: 'instructive reversals' - (re)interpreting the 1857 events in Northern India

The tales that have been told about these events have been profoundly shaped, however,...
