Finishing the year on a high - I've signed a contract with Cambridge University Press for my book: Metal and Literary Production in Early Modern England: Labour, Value, Violence.

Transforming my PhD into a book whilst on a series of lectureships wasn't easy, so I WILL be celebrating every milestone

Outing myself as an unrepentant Bridgerton fan here - but new substack reflecting on some of the ~discourse~ about Regency-era inter-class romances, the 'lost heir' trope, and how it's all tied to how we relate money to virtue

‘Tasting History: Researching and Experiencing the Development of the Cheese Trade’, with @cheesetastingco.bsky.social and @cheeseandpeople.bsky.social, hosted by Birkbeck's Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies, Feb 24th!

Register here: www.bbk.ac.uk/events/event...
Tasting History Researching and Experiencing the Development of the Cheese Trade Keynes Library, Gordon Square Tuesday 24 February 2026 1500-1730 This interactive, experiential event will include a discussion with Ned Palmer, author of A Cheesemonger’s History of the British Isles, and Alasdair McNeill, a Birkbeck doctoral student researching the early modern cheese trade. It will be accompanied by a free tasting of six historic cheeses. Ned will introduce each cheese by placing it in its historical context, and the tastings will be interspersed with a conversation between Ned and Alasdair about the development of the trade and its importance to broader histories of commercialisation, labour relations, and women’s social and economic role. They will also discuss the value, and limits, of experiential food studies. How can the history of cheese – from milking to mongering – illuminate the role of ordinary women and men in their local communities and wider society? How can producing and tasting historic foods help us understand their histories?

Bookes are like Cheese, that is neuer well seasoned to euery mans tast; for one will say it is too salt, another wil say it is too fresh, a thirde will say it is to tart, another thinkes it to be too milde; one will haue it too hard, another too soft, another too tough, another too brittle, it neuer pleaseth euery mans tast; no more do Bookes.

Very taken by this c. 1530 painting of the cloth market in s'Hertogenbosch. The (anonymous) artist seems to have heard of perspective, but not quite to have got the hang of it. Apparently it was commissioned by the cloth-sellers guild, and Hieronymus Bosch lives in the 7th house from the right.
