So often History writing continues to be about powerful, wealthy, influential people. The lives that most interest me are the millions whose voices were barely heard even in their own time. I attend closely to eight of them in #Lifescapes, just out now: amazon.co.uk/Lifescapes-Expe…

It appears from the weather today that summer is not, in fact, about to come in.
The only solution I can think of is more seasonal encouragement by means of the banjo. Surely that will work.

First up, most appropriate seems Sumer is Icumen In, surviving in a manuscript from Reading Abbey, just down the hill from where I'm playing this - read all about it at the @readingmuseum website: readingmuseum.org.uk/online-…

This colourful map was recently viewed #InTheSearchroom. It is a survey of the Holt estate, Wokingham, by John Smith (no date, late 18th century). We love the attention to detail including all the different buildings. #ColourfulArchives #Archive30

My review of Jeremy Burchardt's "Lifescapes" (CUP) for @CultSocHistory is now available online. An exemplary historical study of the emotional and physical experience of landscape. It's a wondrous book, contemplative and empathetic throughout.

‘A great pedestrian’: John Stuart Mill, the Walking Philosopher 🚶♂️🏞️
A new article in @JofVictCulture by Prof David Stack @UniRdg_History shows how walking aided the process, and helped to shape the content, of Mill’s philosophy.
