Excellent article by David Armitage , and useful for thinking about the larger, international context of the Declaration of Independence and the (often overlooked) British response.

So sad to hear about the passing of Gordon S. Wood. His scholarship, of course, will have a continuing impact on students of the First British Empire, the American Revolution, and the Early Republic, but he will be missed.

Re-upping this recent article because the formatting is much better here. Plus, it's free!

This article is based on research that served as the genesis of my dissertation and is the basis of my upcoming book.

“What do they know of Europe who only Europe know?” My appreciation of J G A Pocock, who passed away last week.

My brief tribute to the late, great John Pocock (1924-2023) https://t.co/ot6PhsPGn9

[Institute of Intellectual History @StAndrewsIIH]

"While many distinguished historians owe their distinction to transformative work in a single field, Pocock transformed several different areas of study."

Sad to see that John Pocock has passed. He left a legacy that contemporary and future historians of political thought and historiography will continue to build on, argue with, and admire.

[David Armitage 🇺🇦 davidrarmitage.bsky.social @DavidRArmitage]

Deeply sad to learn that John Pocock passed away yesterday at the extraordinary age of 99. The greatest historian of political thought of his generation, he was perhaps the greatest historian of historiography we'll ever see. Il miglior fabbro.

[Oxford Centre for Intellectual History @OxfordCIH]

The Oxford Centre for Intellectual History joins colleagues around the world in mourning the loss of J.G.A Pocock, a grand master of the field who transformed it in a long career that ended yesterday, a few months before his 100th birthday. RIP.

[Zach Bates @Zachstreetboy]

Well deserved, and congratulations, Melissa (@ManorCourts)!

[Max Skjönsberg @MaxSkjonsberg]

Delighted with Colin Kidd's review essay of my edition of Catharine Macaulay's "Political Writings", @LRB. "Max Skjönsberg has situated the work of Catharine Macaulay within a significantly remapped domain of political thought". https://t.co/XFmXfDiM0x

My 'exit interview' -- and I'll always treasure my time at @ucalgaryhist. Now to work on that book proposal...

@RandalHendrick9 And now, like any minor star, I have burned out and expired.

[Zach Bates @Zachstreetboy]

@RandalHendrick9 He also, in the 1960s, revised some of his thinking on communism; and he wrote some interesting articles in the New Republic and Playboy in the early ‘80s lamenting the state of the Democratic Party (esp. its attempts to appeal to the “center”).
