We are sorry to hear of the death of Professor David Abulafia FBA, who was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society in 1981. A historian of Italy and the Mediterranean, Professor Abulafia's major later works included 'The Boundless Sea' (2019) bit.ly/46ji00b

We are very sorry to learn of the death, earlier this month, of the historian, Professor Anthony Fletcher (1941-2026). A Fellow @royalhistsoc.org since 1976, Anthony was a leading scholar of early modern England. Between 2000-05 he also served as General Editor of @vch-home.bsky.social #Skystorians

So, one day soon an article by me is coming out in the English Historical Review about the fragmentation of England's educational systems from the 1650s on and the new forms of teaching & learning that emerged, and it's only just struck me that this is, you know, Relevant To Our Current Situation.

"The Baltic world and Nordic region have never figured prominently in the historiography of medieval & early modern Europe." My 1 semester at Uppsala was a reality check about the scale of this marginalization! This book by @adamgeorgie.bsky.social looks like a welcome part of the correction.

Read my review of Johan Östling's recent book on university history. It's a shame his book's only available in Swedish, but I've tried to give a summary on this excellent intro to university history
