A BOOK FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN SOCIAL HISTORY OR THE GEORGIAN PERIOD. ‘Masquerade’ traces the history of this elitist entertainment over a period of a century from 1713, with the help of the impresarios who staged these costly events, and the guests who attended them. @yalebooks.bsky.social
“Although older than the Alps, the Pyrenees remain far less well known . . . Taylor's account is an absorbing romp through this human story.”—Ettie Neil-Gallacher, ‘The Field’, August 2026. What nice words from the first press review of my new book! #bookreview @yalebooks.bsky.social
THE ROCKY ROAD TO SUCCESS: this path led me to a mountain pass which was at the heart of a trade deal signed in 1347. Every step was worthwhile because in exactly two weeks' time, ‘The Pyrenees: A Human History’ will be released by @yalebooks.bsky.social and my publishing dream will come true.
