Failing better at understanding the past
There’s a new early-modern edition of Carnivalesque up at Mercurius Politcus. Nick has done a fantastic job of pastiching 17th century presbyterian bigot Thomas Edwards.
The next Carnivalesque will be an ancient/medieval edition at The Cranky Professor in November. You can submit posts using the ancient/medieval nomination form.
The new edition of the Military History Carnival is now up at Osprey Publishing blog. It’s a special Olympic themed edition - Mike has done an excellent job of putting it together.
Next month’s MHC will be hosted by Alex Clark at History of Warfare on the 14th September. You can e-mail submissions to alexanderclark999 [at] gmail [dot] com or use the submission form.
We also need hosts for October onwards.
And the latest early-modern edition of Carnivalesque is up at Early Modern Notes. From my experience of carnivals I’d guess that “more nominations than any other post” means about two nominations…
The next Military History Carnival will be at the Osprey Publishing blog on 18th August. Please e-mail submissions to blog at ospreypublishing dot com or use the submission form. Remeber the definition of military is very broad, but only wars before 1 January 2001 can be included. See the Military History Carnival homepage for more details of what is eligible.

The 15th Military History Carnival is now up at Cardinal Wolsey’s Today In History. Alun has done an excellent job (and I didn’t even have to send in any extra submissions this time). The next edition will be at the Osprey Publishing blog on 18th August. E-mail submissions to blog at ospreypublishing dot com or use the submission form.
The 15th Military History Carnival will take place at Cardinal Wolsey’s Today In History on Saturday 14th June. Please e-mail submissions to alunadler at yahoo dot co dot uk or use the submission form. Posts on any of the following themes will be particularly welcome:

We also need a host for the July edition. If you’re interested in hosting please leave a comment here or e-mail me. If I don’t get a host for July I might do it myself, or I might just skip a month. Do you feel lucky punk?
This is the 14th Military History Carnival, with a special theme of Contested Boundaries. Today is also the day that Bloggers Unite encourages bloggers to write about human rights (hat tip: Mark Stoneman). I might post something on that theme later today if I have time (and I probably won’t have time), but this carnival edition gives plenty of attention to human rights issues.
The 14th Military History Carnival will be here next week on Thursday 15th May. We still need more submissions: you can submit your own posts or someone else’s, relating to the Contested Boundaries theme or anything else within MHC’s usual remit. Please e-mail submissions to fallon.young@4-lom.com or use the the submission form.
More details of the Contested Boundaries theme:
This can cover disputed territories and borders, which are a big part of many wars. It can also cover cultural boundaries. How does war complicate, question or shift the boundaries between races, genders, classes, and sexual orientations, between able and disabled, or between human and animal? Above all, how is the boundary between war and peace constructed and contested? Just use your imagination.
You can submit your own posts or posts written by someone else. If you feel inspired to write something on this theme, then go for it. Considering the number of submissions we normally get it’s unlikely that your post will be rejected unless it’s outside the scope of the carnival or fails to meet basic standards of factual accuracy. Submissions don’t have to be limited to the theme. As usual, anything about armed forces and conflicts in any part of the world is eligible. Only wars that happened after 1 January 2001 are excluded. See the Military History Carnival page for more details of the carnival’s aims and scope.
The next edition of the Military History Carnival will be here at Investigations of a Dog on Thursday 15th May. As always we need as many submissions as possible. To make it more interesting I’ve decided to give this edition a special theme: Contested Boundaries.

If this is a success there might be more themed editions in future.
The latest early-modern edition of the Carnivalesque blog carnival is now up at Walking The Berkshires. Tim has hosted editions of just about every history related carnival and as usual he’s done a fantastic job. There are loads of fascinating posts, but my favourite has to be the one about pissing dogs in the American Revolution.
