Magnificent Rebels: The First Romantics and the Invention of the Self

Andrea Wulf

Dominic Sandbrook

A huge thank you to guest star @andrea_wulf, author of the brilliant MAGNIFICENT REBELS. Described in the podcast by @holland_tom as a wonderful writer, "despite being German". Let nobody doubt that the spirit of English chivalry still burns in Brixton. https://t.co/5WkDF846yu

Golden Wolf

Cat D. Vermilion

Dominic Sandbrook

Looking tough for the Golden Wolf now. This has the feel of Hungary in 1954, Brazil in 1982, France in 1986, Diane Abbott in 2010. Loved by the romantics, cruelly undone by cynicism, forever remembered. https://t.co/xom4Xr15V4

Peter Sarris

Dominic Sandbrook

@Erkenbald @holland_tom @TheRestHistory More scholarly: @peter_sarris's book Empires of Faith, on the sixth and seventh centuries, is brilliant. I'm biased because he's my old tutor, but it's still brilliant.
