Very pleased that my book 'Medievalism in Nineteenth-Century Belgium: The 1848 Monument to Godfrey of Bouillon' is now out - and I have the hard copies to prove it!

WELSH PLACE-NAMES IN ENGLAND 🏴
Just *some* of the many place-names in England with Welsh equivalents.
I had to miss out so many to fit the ones included… and even most of those aren’t in exactly the correct positions!
Search ‘Welsh toponyms’ to find a much more extensive list.
I can heartily recommend this call for applications to spend some on fellowship at @CAPASHeidelberg thinking about the Apocalypse in all its incarnations and guises. My time there has been transformative and inspiring!
Call for Applications #CfP Fellowships at CAPAS for up to 6 months, starting 09/2024. Academic focus lies on imaginaries and concepts of the (post-)apocalypse as a specific figure of transformation, rupture, and speculative thought. Deadline 31.08.2023 ➡️ https://t.co/nVGBn4yHH9
I'm not at @IMC_Leeds this year, but my new book 'Medievalism in Nineteenth-Century Belgium' might well be😉
Should appeal to anyone interested in C19th (ab)uses of the medieval past
Seek out @boydellbrewer at the Bookfair!
(One has to read through the detailed information in this article on the profoundly negative impact of Brexit on the Eurostar to find this detail about the night train)
I learn that at one point plans for the Eurostar included a night train from Swansea to Paris...
Just imagine, spending the day in one of Europe's most beautiful cities, catching a train late at night, and waking up the next morning in Paris
