Early Modern Notes

I’ve added a few history blogs on the right (some I’ve been meaning to get round to for a while now…). Some fine writing to be had at Rhine River and No Loss for Words especially. I don’t know whether to add this one yet. Like the name, but since I’ve been tuning in all the author seems to talk about is blogtinkery (thanks to Harrison at All Day Permanent Red for that splendid word), in rather obsessive detail…

I was going to work on South America links for the ‘around the early modern world’ series this weekend, but didn’t get on to it. (Nor did I do any work on EMR.) But it will be the next one up, so please, if you have any good links on South American history covering c.1500-1850ish, please let me know… And after that, I need to cover the Indian sub-continent, the Middle East… (well, most of Asia, basically). So suggestions welcome there too. And probably a general one for all the small islands and archipelagoes at some point.

Oh, and I cleaned the flat up a bit so that the estate agent (American translation: realtor) who’s coming on Tuesday (because my landlord wants a valuation before I move out in a couple of weeks’ time) won’t be totally grossed out by my usual squalor.

I’m going home in two weeks’ time! Huzza!
