George Eliot’s ‘Greek Vocabulary’ Notebook (c. 1873) as Commodity and Rare Artefact by Linda K. Hughes

“…More particularly, the essay assesses the merits of approaching such a material object as a commodified authorial tool and as a rare artefact that illuminates the career of a canonical British author.

There and Back Again by Owen Hopkins

“…Central to this was Margaret Thatcher’s Right to Buy scheme – an archetypal populist policy that became totemic of her broader reconfiguration of British society. Building on the demonisation of council housing that paved the way for Right to Buy, today, it stands as the implicit foil for the present right-wing government’s populist advocation of ‘beauty’ (i.e. traditional styles) as a way of removing objections to future development. …”

Shoot Straight, You Bastards! Australians in the Boer War: the Breaker Morant Case by Martine Piquet

“…Between July and September 1901 the detachment summarily executed a number of Boer prisoners, in accordance, they claimed, with Lord Kitchener’s orders “to make no prisoners”—which the British authorities denied were ever given.
