  • Extending the curriculum: why should we consider ‘value added’?

      Primary History article
    While the focus provided by the new Ofsted framework has allowed schools to begin to, perhaps, rebalance the curriculum, the time allocated to the foundation subjects is still fairly marginal in many schools. This means that hard decisions have to be taken about what to include and what to leave...

  • The Romanov Tercentenary: nostalgia versus history on the eve of the Great War

      Historian article
    The spring of 2013 was unusually significant for devotees of the Romanov dynasty.

  • India in 1914

      Historian article
    Rather as Queen Victoria was never as ‘Victorian' as we tend to assume, so British India in the years leading up to 1914 does not present the cliched spectacle of colonists in pith helmets and shorts lording it over subservient natives that we might assume. Certainly that sort of relationship...

  • Blurred Lines: the ever-decreasing distinction between fiction and nonfiction

      Historian article
