After that trip to #C19 #Stavanger it was back to JamesII/VII to George I #Ireland and the man of whom the English despaired, complaining that The Angel of St Patrick's is now guardian of the kingdom. Not #Swift but the Abp of Dublin, a great theologian and stubborn Irishman. #booksky #theology

A Political Biography of William King

William King (1650–1729) was perhaps the dominant Irish intellect of the period from 1688 until his death in 1729. An Anglican (Church of Ireland) by conversion, King was a strident critic of John Tol...

The distributor went bankrupt. The publisher doesn't seem interested in its backlist. I really should try and find a new outlet for this book. It deserves it. It would also make an excellent TV show. Anyway, here's a review: jamesehartley.com/skipper-worse/

This one was a collaboration growing out of a terrific series of biennial colloquia organized with two far better scholars and really fun people. We shared some time with really generous established, and some very promising emerging, scholars--a privilege all around. #C18 #money #power

Kitty Kielland's take-no-prisoners entry into the debate about the role of women in the church. It was obviously written in a hurry. She misattributes Bible passages, gets some names wrong. But I wasn't trying for a scholarly edition, just her righteous indignation. Depressingly, still relevant.

Back to my first publisher for the next book, a look at maybe my favourite poet. Resulted in a couple of @rte.ie interviews and some really positive reviews in Irish print media. So a lot of fun. As always, I probably learned more writing it than readers did reading it. #booksky #Irishlit #poetry

This grew out of a very specific idea, to have #Saba be more than a footnote in a Caribbean book. Pulled it off, but, honestly, the other essays are really what make the collection. Mind you, it's on Saba you meet a John Toland even more interesting than THE John Toland. #Caribbean #churchhistory

Locals used to call the cliffs at Dedwick 'the place of a thousand skulls'. Given that the clifftop cemetery was collapsing onto the beach below, it wasn't an unreasonable name. Even now, storms sometimes pull bones onto shore, feeding it new ghosts. – #MattAdams, 1981

It might even be profitable. I heard on a podcast former Sussex CEO saying 2k was minimum to cover costs, excluding members. Recent games have certainly exceeded that with sold out out grounds.

Goodnight from Beryl Brewer, wishing the cleaning supplies for the County Museum weren’t stored in the basement next to a room labelled Bone Depository. Goodnight from the cloud pond on Weland Hill, where a Harrowhound pack has come to slake their thirst. Goodnight from Hookland.

One last plug for this piece on the National Counties Championship and how it is a great alternative to the lack of red ball cricket at this time of the summer: yahooovercowcorner.wordpress.com/2026/07/30/alternative-part-two/

Alternative Part Two

The north Barcelona district of Sant Andreu would seem an odd place to begin a blog post about cricket. But there is resonance with the sport and the area of one of Europe’s most visited destinatio…

We drive darkening, ghosted roads. In these last minutes of solar alchemy, every turn is towards folklore. We become one with the land's long memory. One with a hodology where every traveller is another time's temporal shade. We become high strangeness. – #DAKilroy, 1982

Those feral churches – beyond diocesan office, enjoying green communion – call the imagination. Even before visiting, we've a knowing their ivy-blinded windows, their ghost-congregation cooled interiors, refuse this barbarous heat. Offer spirit-shaded sanctuary. – #DAKilroy
