Compiling a 🧵 of the different threads we have done on individual members of our editorial boards' favourite London Journal articles and how they influenced them...

It’s time for a new 🧵 about one of our editorial board’s choice of an article from the journal’s back catalogue that was influential on them. This time it’s our Board Chair Bob Shoemaker’s choice of Valerie Pearl’s 1979 article, ‘Change and Stability in Seventeenth-century London’.

Great to see our article highlighted at the end of last year. At the core of this was an effort to bring Black British historical fiction and 'the archive' in Slavery Studies to bear on the records of eighteenth-century London. How can this work complicate and move beyond an emphasis on presence?

In case you missed this one before Christmas...

Coming up!

A little over a week left to get those EOIs in. We have already received some great proposals, so it's shaping up to be an excellent day.

Deadline for EoIs is next week!

Time for our final 🧵of 2026 on one of the articles from our 50th anniversary special issue, 'London's Past Today'. This one is on 'From Historical Fiction to Historical Praxis: Researching Long Eighteenth-Century London’s Black Lives' (available OA), by Montaz Marché & @jamie-gemmell.bsky.social.

New exhibition review: Catherine Barron's review of the @guildhalllibrary.bsky.social's 600th anniversary exhibition.

New research article: 'The Monarchs’ Bills of Mortality: A Geographical Analysis of Death in Seventeenth-Century London', by @jmotis.bsky.social and Katherine Kania: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
