  • Whose past is it anyway? Telling Russian and Soviet history through diverse Jewish voices

      Teaching History article
    When Alistair Dickins came to teach A-level Russian and Soviet history (1855–1964) he was rather surprised by the very limited references to Jewish history within the exam board specification. His own detailed knowledge in this area (a ‘little side-project’ from his doctorate on the Russian Revolution), led to a revision of the course. This article...

  • Limited Monarchy in Great Britain in the Eighteenth Century

      Classic Pamphlet
    There was hardly anything in Great Britain which political thinkers on the continent of Europe in the eighteenth century admired more than its limited monarchy. But what were the limitations?

  • What Have Historians Been Arguing About... the British Empire and the age of revolutions in the global South

      Teaching History feature
    The historiography of the British Empire has taken a long course since the era of decolonisation.
