Just when Lockdown 1 began I’d started to think about the acknowledgements I would include at the front of my new book, The Dissolution of the Monasteries. A New History. Already I had a long list of names in mind. Then the implications of a complete suspension of research life became clear. Campus and library […]
Have you ever come across mysterious references to medieval heretics and their violent repression and wished to know more?
