On the "winsome and hyperactive" figures in Last Call at the Hotel Imperial, @krithikavaragur is -- as usual -- right on the money. I'm very grateful for this far-sighted review @NewYorker

We are creatures of forward momentum; it is fiendishly difficult to return to unfinished projects and start working on them again.

[Scott A. Sowerby @SASowerby]

After 20 years of working on this, it’s hard to believe it’s actually finished. With thanks to my co-editor, Noah McCormack, and all the folks at CWAAS, especially @colinsparkbridg. https://t.co/kC5HHdtVTl

The State Trials & the Politics of Justice in Later Stuart England eds @drsacheverell & @SASowerby examines the state trial as legal process, arena of political conflict & public spectacle, aspects which – see presidential impeachments – still persist https://t.co/GIpaDir8uo

[Boydell & Brewer @boydellbrewer]

Today on the blog Brian Cowan & Scott Sowerby discuss how their book, The State Trials and the Politics of Justice in Later Stuart England, came together & went to press in the remarkable circumstances of a US President undergoing not one but two trials. https://t.co/aa8wcf4a3B

@newton_key That Politics of Religion volume was a classic! It changed the field and encapsulated a new approach.

Very pleased to get these in the mail: our collective tribute to Mark Kishlansky, a great teacher and great friend. John Morrill's memoir of Kish is well worth a read. With thanks to @ManchesterUP and my fellow contributors @susandamussen, @annlaurahughes and @davidchansmith.

[Scott A. Sowerby @SASowerby]

@WayneYHuang So proud of you for doing this! It's a great app; the world is going to love it.

[Scott A. Sowerby @SASowerby]

Mostly I just miss all of the visits and phone calls we would have had if he hadn't passed.

[Scott A. Sowerby @SASowerby]

On the publication day of Revolutionising Politics, I'm thinking about the man who inspired it, Mark Kishlansky (1948-2015). Here's the tribute I wrote on the day of his death nearly six years ago: https://t.co/sZUpGfGXng
