  • Whose past is it anyway? Telling Russian and Soviet history through diverse Jewish voices

      Teaching History article
    When Alistair Dickins came to teach A-level Russian and Soviet history (1855–1964) he was rather surprised by the very limited references to Jewish history within the exam board specification. His own detailed knowledge in this area (a ‘little side-project’ from his doctorate on the Russian Revolution), led to a revision of the course. This article...

  • Tudor Enclosures

      Classic Pamphlet
    Tudor enclosures hold the attention of historians because of the fundamental changes which they wrought in our system of farming, and in the appearance of the English countryside.

  • Limited Monarchy in Great Britain in the Eighteenth Century

      Classic Pamphlet
    There was hardly anything in Great Britain which political thinkers on the continent of Europe in the eighteenth century admired more than its limited monarchy. But what were the limitations?

  • The Bronze Age: what was so special about copper and tin?

      Primary History article

  • Vichy France and the Jews

      Article
    Dr Julian Jackson examines the position and treatment of Jews in Occupied France.

  • Cunning Plan 183: Teaching a broader Britain, 1625–1714

      Teaching History feature
    ‘Gruesome!’ was how we decided to describe our teaching of seventeenth-century British history, although ‘inadequate’ was probably more accurate. Oh, how much was wrong!  We had… Incoherence. The Civil War and Protectorate years plonked in between the Elizabethan Age and the origins of the industrial revolution. We had lost years! A...

  • What Have Historians Been Arguing About... the British Empire and the age of revolutions in the global South

      Teaching History feature
    The historiography of the British Empire has taken a long course since the era of decolonisation.
