Présentation du livre de Sophie Cras et Charlotte Guichard, Vendre son art. De la Renaissance à nos jours, dans le podcast Paroles d’Histoire. Passionnant entretien avec les deux autrices ! Et ça fait plaisir d’entendre parler d’histoire sociale de l’art 😊
We had almost no visitors in the museum today, and this was good - our buildings and rooms were used as a setting for a big photo shoot. The photos were made for the catalogue of a local costume hire company (we also work with when we show historical demonstrations). I'll show you better photos tomorrow. I'm fascinated how some people make a complete time travel when dressing up like this.
I see a lot of 'save and back up useful stuff' going around. Speaking from the perspective of a historian, save some of that '_everybody_ knows this' too. The latter falls through the cracks at a frightening rate.
J’ai eu la chance de voir le manuscrit de Locmaria ce matin ! Il est présenté à côté du cartulaire de Landévennec : on peut ainsi découvrir deux ouvrages plus ou moins contemporains, de différentes qualités. Quelques imprimés sont aussi exposés, avec des reliures, qui permettent de mieux comprendre le contexte.
Happy book birthday to my amazing wife, @ChrisAintMarchin whose novel about Joan of Arc is being released just when the world is experiencing that new Pope smell. Habemus librum!
Today is St Elfleda's Day, a saint connected to Glastonbury. (It's sometimes given as 23rd Oct instead.) She features in Unsung Women in Somerset as well as my upcoming book, On This Day in Somerset.
Hubby, who used to teach American history, reminded me of the #HartfordConvention from 1814-15. #Maine, #Massachusetts, #Vermont, #Connecticut, #NewHampshire and #RhodeIsland had considered leaving the union and forming their own "independent republic" in opposition to "political problems arising from the federal government's increasing power. "
Excerpt: "Some delegates may have been in favor of New England's #secession from the United States and forming an #independent republic, though no solution was adopted at the convention. Historian Samuel Eliot Morison rejected the notion that the Hartford convention was an attempt to take New England out of the Union and give treasonous aid and comfort to Britain. Morison wrote: 'Democratic politicians, seeking a foil to their own mismanagement of the war and to discredit the still formidable Federalist party, caressed and fed this infant myth until it became so tough …

“_In the United Kingdom, the abolition of the slave trade and slavery holds a special place in national identity narratives, largely thanks to over a century of celebratory historiography, from the mid-nineteenth century to about the mid-twentieth.
