Happy New January
As everyone who studies early-modern England knows, the new year doesn’t really begin until 25th March. But apart from the halls still being decked with cheap tat, the “festive season” is more or less out of the way. Can we talk about “getting back to normal” when christmas itself is such a normative ideological hegemony? Anyway, this post is just a round-up of some things I’ve been doing, or am going to do.
First, I’m hosting the 46th History Carnival here on 15th January. I’ve had an encouraging number of submissions so far, but I still need more. I’ll take quality blog posts about any aspect of history (the more diverse or unusual the better), but no submissions that are just about current affairs with no historical content please. Use the official submission form or e-mail them to me at hc46@4-lom.com.
