Historian at the University of Groningen. Here for all things history and occasionally venting about EU and Italian politics. The Age of Revolutions and the History of Emotions are a few of my favourite things.

1. There are two types of 18thC historian: those are secretly 17thC historians and those who are secretly 19thC historians. One group is correct.

My edition of four travel journals by 18th-c servants is out now, including accounts of France, Italy, the Low Countries, Germany and the Ottoman Empire by three valets and a maid – the majority of people who went on the 'Grand Tour' #skystorians #18thc #c18th global.oup.com/academic/pro...

I have created a pack for scholars of the long seventeenth century! If there is anyone I should add or you would like to be added do let me know - apologies for all I missed, hard to keep up these days. Do consider sharing to help enable scholars reconnect & rebuild network(s)! go.bsky.app/BtkNcRq
