medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
[x-posted MedTextL & Mediev-L: sorry if you get hit with this
announcement in those forums. --Al Magary]
Announcing new History of London Mailing List
H-London is a new, multidisciplinary mailing list for scholars,
students, researchers, and serious travelers working on various
facets of the history of London, England. Our aim is to draw
together scholars whose work touches on London and to bring in
as many differing viewpoints as possible. The goal -- to foster
communication and information exchange on *everything* related
to this particular region.
Examples of encouraged topics: "straight" history, literature,
streets and buildings, maps, court studies, housewifery,
culinary history, historic costuming, period music, pageantry,
discussion of various eras and personages that were active or
influential in London and the home counties...the list goes on
(see Disraeli quotation at the bottom).
Ideally with this mix we will be able to flesh out the details
of life and commerce in London through the millennia.
Unfortunately we are not at this time able to answer
genealogical queries and will not likely be able to give
specific details about relatively unknown personages. In the
future a geneaology query
message board will be available on our website to facilitate
this type of search.
To subscribe, please send an email to [log in to unmask]
with this information: your name, email address, location in the
world, institutional affiliation (if relevant), publications (if
relevant), and brief description of your interest in the history
of London--especially any past or current research interest. Or
feel free to contact that address if you have any questions
about the list
itself.
"London: a nation, not a city."
--Benjamin Disraeli, 'Lothair'
