Gnostical Turpitude: History Links of the Day

History Links of the Day

Posted by Ed

If I have one regret about my sojourn so far in Russia, it's that my legions of adoring fans have had fewer chances to read hastily-thrown-together blog entries full of random links. Actually, I take that back: I also regret that RGASPI, the Russian State Archive of Social and Political History, has been temporarily closed since I got here. And, even more, I regret that I've gone from a short-distance relationship to a long distance relationship to a really long distance relationship since last September. But, other than that...

I can't do much, say, about reopening RGASPI. I can, however, give you some new links:

The London Review of Books looks at Dick Turpin: The Myth of the English Highwayman, a book I'll have to read sometime.
The Weekly Standard hails Benjamin Disraeli as "the inventor of modern conservatism."
In The Washington Post, Anne Applebaum (not usually my favorite writer) reminds us of the fascist past of architect Philip Johnson.
Scott McLemee reviews Jared Diamond's new book on the decline of civilizations.
The Guardian reviews two new books on British colonial repression in Africa.
Common-Place looks at the Pacific voyage of George Forster, a radical intellectual who travelled with Captain Cook.
The Guardian reports on the opening of Communist-era files on collaboration in Poland.
Jack the Ripper wasn't really the painter Walter Sickert, it seems.
In The New York Review of Books, Simon Sebag Montefiore discusses the correspondence between Catherine the Great and her lover, Potemkin.

It may be a while until I have another chance to browse the web again, but I'll try to post more often.
