OK, so future book set in Edo Japan, main character a traveling poet, maybe along with a ronin and escaping princess, sort of Tokaido Road/Cloud of Sparrows-esque with big daimyo/emperor politics, but with the Kay depth of character and enriched settings? If so, take my money! 🙂

Thanks! I have ordered The Hollow Crown, Christian Materiality and Montaillou, they look terrific! My collection is getting bigger. In broader scope, I just added Orientalism as well.

This one looks very interesting, I have read a number of books on medieval manuscripts lately and this would be a different angle. The only one I am seeing is on Amazon for over $150, so I will have to keep my eye out for it in a cheaper version, Thanks!

Awesome, I just ordered English Villagers in the 13th Century and Medieval People (which I may have actually read!). Thanks!

Yes, those exact two! I expressed my disgruntledness to my wife, saying that an (a?) historical education leads to a mildly anachronistic vocabulary.

Possibly, but doesn't look like broccoli at all and looks an awful lot like cauliflower, but will be fun to watch. 🙂
