Proofs! I am delighted to be spending a rainy day with these ☔️ @sophiehjones1 It’s very exciting to see the first of two major outputs from my @ahrcpress Leadership Fellowship and @BritishAcademy_ Mid Career Fellowship come to life 📚

It will speak both to the ways in which slavery, conflict, and capitalism were intertwined, and to the ways in which established interests fought to maintain the status quo in the face of economic and moral imperatives—issues with great relevance to our contemporary moment.

[Dr Peter Buckles @DrPBuckles]

It’s my great pleasure to announce that I will be working with @LivUniPress on my debut monograph, provisionally entitled 'Crisis and Uncertainty in the Bristol–West India Sugar Trade, 1783-1802', to be published as part of @ECWLiv’s Eighteenth-Century Worlds book series.

[Dr Peter Buckles @DrPBuckles]

The book will examine how merchants in Bristol worked alongside others within the trading community to uphold the system of plantation slavery and protect the trade in sugar from a series of compounding crises towards the end of the Eighteenth Century.

@kejamieson_ Looks like it might be a contraction for a full name - I would guess Henry or Harry. Is this normal for your source?

[Dr Peter Buckles @DrPBuckles]

Very excited to be presenting a paper on the impact of the French Revolutionary Wars on Bristol's sugar market at a #EHS2021 New Researcher session tomorrow! Many thanks to @EcHistSoc for having me, and looking forward to hearing all the other interesting papers! #econhist
