Everybody’s (still) talking about Stephen Greenblatt’s book on Will Shakespeare…
Leonardo da Vinci gets some attention too…
And then there are the passions of Raphael…
Is there anything new to say about Horatio Nelson and Trafalgar? Apparently, yes…
Catch up on Arrival Day and Jewish history in America…
David Starkey gets mellow in his old age? Whatever next…
Or you could reflect on why campus novels are so much more interesting than the real thing…
Or be charmed by an interview with Philip Pullman…

Meanwhile, I’m galloping through Tamburlaine Must Die (liking it, but The Cutting Room was better), with some Minette Walters and Josephine Tey lined up to go… Or maybe I’ll be more serious and dip into The Spoken Word: Oral Culture in Britain 1500-1850…
And nearly forgot this article on the Scottish Enlightenment
