"United States of Mind", Times Literary Supplement, January 2017

Only a year late adding my latest TLS review.

My review of Stites, The Four Horsemen, in the TLS (May 9, 2014)

My review of Richard Stites' brilliant, posthumously published The Four Horsemen: Riding to Liberty in Post-Napoleonic Europe (Oxford UP, 2014) is in the May 9 issue of the Times Literary Supplement.

2 new publications

It has been a busy yet enjoyable summer in Cambridge, MA. Two of my pieces were published in the last month or so. The first is a review of J.R. McNeill's Mosquito Empires which appeared in the T.L.S. The second is an article concerning Portuguese debates on empire after the independence of Brazil (covering the period 1820-1850). This article may be found in the Fall 2011 issue of the Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History.

First post of the year

I've been slow to maintain this site, but I've resolved to be more diligent in 2010.

I only have two new articles to mention.

The first is a review of an excellent new, accessible biography of Salazar (the first quality biography to have been published in English). It is available here.

The second is a review that appeared in the T.L.S. on January 8. The book is a high-quality synthetic history of Portugal and the Portuguese empire in the early modern period. It is available to subscribers on the T.L.S. site.
