Tomorrow’s episode of @TheRestHistory is on THE FIRST EMPEROR OF CHINA
“Cavaliers and Puritans are interesting for their costumes and not for their convictions” – Oscar Wilde, touching on a profound point, as he so often does...
If my incredible stoicism can serve as an inspiration to others in these troubled times, then I guess my suffering has not been entirely in vain. Small mercies…
Is there any misery in the world to compare to that of an elite cricketer who’s spent months training and honing his body to an absolute pinnacle of physical perfection, only to discover that the day’s cricket match has been RAINED OFF? ☔️☔️☔️☹️☹️☹️
Not bad, not bad…
Not bad, not bad…
A wonderful tribute by @malcolmguite to Byron's Hebrew Melodies. I find it so painful that some of them were written on Byron's honeymoon, with his new wife helping transcribe them - perhaps their happiest time together - & yet already such misery... churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2024/…

How many people are aware that an Islamist mob tried to burn Christians in their homes this week and attacked them repeatedly in Egypt? How many people know that similar mobs have been massacring hundreds of Christians in Nigeria for months? Or that Christians are regularly…

Cracking season opener @goodwoodcricket with the @AuthorsCC. A valiant loss, with runs from @M_H_Taylor, and late flurries from @theoldbatsman @CCampbell_Agent and @holland_tom. Happy to leave the field with one wicket and no injury.

@CUPBookshop @AndrewBowyer4 @uqpharri @CUPReligion @CambUP_Religion I am soooooo delighted to have this. Long long anticipated (@johnmilbank3). A game-changer of a book
@holland_tom Bernard Beatty, in his address, said he was a great poet and a hero, and then paid tribute to his generosity, before saying something along the lines of… “was he also flawed? Of course. But this place was built by flawed people for flawed people” and I thought that just right.
@holland_tom @TheRestHistory You guys are seriously the very best podcast ever. I can’t believe how much I’m enjoying all the history that is well beyond my own early modern England/Scotland echo chamber! Just brilliant ✨
@guardian This is definitely one for @holland_tom...if he can peel himself away from the Byron binge for moment 😅
I have to say how brilliant the @TheRestHistory pod is. I just marvel at @dcsandbrook and @holland_tom. Little wonder it’s huge. It’s perfect.
@holland_tom I'd say yes. Consider popular entertainment, which in PRC requires a degree of gov approval. A tetralogy of TV series depicting the rise of the Qin Empire and portraying First Emperor as a great ruler came out in 2008, 2013, 2017, 2020. Caesar could only dream of such attention
It’s no coincidence that, though traditional orthodox accounts of Chinese history portray the First Emperor as a tyrant, for years now the PRC has been rehabilitating his image
“Progressive measures.” A 1973 editorial in the Maoist journal Red Flag, describing the First Emperor’s burning of books and his burial alive of Confucian scholars.
In a fabulous new discovery—in the arches under a large staircase in the Region 9 excavations—a series of #gladiators are in perpetual combat. Murmillo versus Thracian (armed with a curved sword) sketched in detail in charcoal alongside a stylised phallus painted in red #Pompeii
@holland_tom Still a common Orcadian slight, though over the years has lost a lot of its impact and is now often used in affection. 😉
