Mention of Imperial Portugal in Folha de S. Paulo

I was honored by the generous mention of my book, Imperial Portugal, in Professor Kenneth Maxwell's weekly column in the Folha de S. Paulo. You can read this week's column here. I've long admired Ken's work, from his famous Conflicts and Conspiracies to his book on Pombal to his work on the Portuguese Revolution of the '70s to his journalism and reviews, so it is a thrill that he's reading my work, to say nothing of responding to it!

Balzan-Skinner Lecture and Colloquium 2013

I've had the great honor and privilege of being the 2012-13 Balzan-Skinner Fellow and I will give my lecture, and organize a colloquium with several incredibly excellent historians,  in late April at CRASSH (Cambridge, UK). Here is the poster, which gives some sense of the program, and another useful link. The theme is 'Romantic Liberalism in Southern Europe, c. 1820-50'. The Balzan-Skinner Fellowship is made possible thanks to the generosity of Prof. Quentin Skinner, who used his 2006 International Balzan Prize to fund the series of lectures, to be given by junior scholars, on themes related to intellectual history since c. 1500.
