Investigations of a Dog

Anyone with online access to War In History can now download my debut article which is about horses and the New Model Army. I haven’t got my hands on a hard copy yet, but it’s quite exciting to see it on the website. Now I just need to finish the Difficult Second Article…

1. Gavin Robinson, ‘Horse Supply and the Development of the New Model Army, 1642-1646’, War In History, 15 (April 2008), pp. 121-140.

I promised more thoughts about thinking, but that’ll be coming next week. For now I have some news which is more exciting for me than it will be for anyone else: my first article has been accepted for publication by War In History. I’m almost a real historian now!

The article is titled “Horse Supply and the Development of the New Model Army, 1642-46″, a more succinct version of the main argument of my PhD thesis that the Earl of Essex’s army is more important than most people realise. If you want to know more than that, you’ll just have to wait and see. It’s likely to be another 18 months before the article appears in print, but being able to put a forthcoming article on my CV could make a lot of difference.
