My excellent colleague @dralicekelly.bsky.social giving a tribute to Professor Jay Winter, who was at Warwick in the 1970s when he worked in the Centre for Social History set up by E. P. Thomson. In particular, a deep-dive into his influential 1995 publication 'Sites of Memory, Sites of Mourning'

My niece has written about The Great Gatsby which just by chance is my weekend reading (or rereading, as it’s a book I read every few years).
