What is the poet’s role in history? For a historian of Britain like myself, this question calls to mind the work of EP Thompson, who read the history of the English working class with one eye on the Romantic poets who sensitively captured the social and cultural transformations of the revolutionary late 18th century.
Their notions of place, people and conflict were also shaped by the imperial expansion unfolding in precisely the same moment, and they waxed orientalists even in their defences of freedom. Thompson’s favourite among the Romantics was the prophetic William Blake, partly for his consistent anti-imperialism. He di ....

Why the Paris Commune Still Resonates, 150 Years Later
Thursday 3 June 2021, by Enzo Traverso
There is a paradoxical discrepancy between the meteoric rise and fall of the Paris Commune, whose life did not exceed seventy-two days, and its lasting presence as a central experience in the Left’s historical consciousness.
Viewed through the lens of what some scholars call “world history,” what happened in Paris between March 18 and May 28, 1871, is almost insignificant.

Every now and then comes a fat book of history written with literary grace that takes you on a long and enjoyable journey into a hidden world. Memorable examples include John Dower’s exploration of the occupation of Japan,
Embracing Defeat, and the late Christopher Bayly’s over-modestly titled
Empire and Information, which looked at how the British were blindsided by the 1857 sepoy mutiny (a missed lesson for 9/11).
Now comes this book by Tim Harper, a Cambridge historian who has also collaborated on books with Bayly.
Underground Asia takes us down the burrows of resistance to the Asian empires of Britain, France and the Netherlands, and into the struggles over the carcass of the Chinese empire in the first three decades of the twentieth century. ....
