It’s publication day for my book ‘Cleaning Up Renaissance Italy: environmental ideals and urban practice in Genoa and Venice’ @OUPHistory . Can’t believe that it’s on my desk/out in the world!
I was delighted and honoured to speak to @TheLambsInc last night on hippodramas (and my pet hippodrama, the Battle of Waterloo). They described the talk as “a great time in the 19th century,” which is praise indeed! #WhoOwnedWaterloo
The Society is pleased to share the shortlists for the SAHR Templer Medal and Best First Book prize. The results will be announced on 26 April at the National Army Museum, which proudly co-sponsors the prizes.

Deeply honoured that @SMH_Historians has chosen #WhoOwnedWaterloo for the Distinguished Book Award in the First Book Category. Congratulations to all the authors chosen - I’m humbled to be in such company.
#WhoOwnedWaterloo has received its first published review (courtesy of Napoleonica), with the legendary @RoryMuir3 describing it as "an important book" that "can be read for pleasure as well as information." To say that I am flattered is an understatement. https://t.co/MDjcb8tILJ
