At @enghistrev.bsky.social's board meeting last week we talked about the importance of reviewing as part of the craft of history, the (UK) pressures it is under in the current REF-dominated (and cuts dominated) environment, and the challenges of supporting it that context.

Delighted to see my review of Vedran Sulovsky, _Making the Holy Roman Empire Holy_ now published online by @enghistrev.bsky.social. Anyone interested in the medieval western Empire or in high medieval European political cultures needs to read Vedran's ground-breaking book.

NEW ARTICLE! "Brexit as Democratic Crisis: Parliament, People & Prophetic Democracy" The Brexit crisis brought the UK's democratic institutions close to breakdown, culminating in an unprecedented assault on judges, Parliament & MPs. How did it happen? Free here! 🧵 academic.oup.com/ehr/advance-...

I'll be there on July 1st! Looking forward to meeting other independent historians.

I'm really grateful to @enghistrev.bsky.social for getting this out in time for the anniversary. Why not relax ahead of the England game by reading about "Brexit as Democratic Crisis"? It asks why Brexit was so hard for our democratic institutions to handle - & what that tells us about democracy.

Today marks 10 years since the historic Brexit referendum. In a new article in The English Historical Review, @robertsaunders.bsky.social explores how Brexit became a crisis of democracy, reshaping debates over Parliament, “the people,” and political authority. oxford.ly/3Sr1SFU

A real treat here, on how the concept of democracy was contested. And draws out beautifully the surreal almost mad atmosphere it generated at times. bsky.app/profile/robe...
