Goodness Topping & Company Booksellers of Edinburgh what a lovely bookshop you are. Thank you for welcoming me and REPUBLIC.



From Cromwell's rather lonely statue outside Westminster Hall to Room 6 at the NPG - and via a procession of modern-day petitioners - this was a delight to do with Faber Books . #Republic


Milton threw off the shackles of rhyme, but never has his time rhymed more with ours. And, like a true Puritan, my brain is still whirring after BBC Free Thinking ...

Yesterday was the 350th anniversary of John Milton’s death. I very much enjoyed discussing his work and legacy on BBC Free Thinking with Kate Maltby islamissa Alice Hunt and host Matthew Sweet. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

350 years on, a most pertinent discussion on John #Milton on BBC Radio 4's BBC Free Thinking—censorship, divorce, tyranny (and his links to Egypt & the US!)—alongside Alice Hunt, Andrew Doyle, Kate Maltby; presented by the brilliant Matthew Sweet 📻📚😈 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Thank you The Cromwell Museum for having me and to everyone who joined, and for your excellent questions on the endlessly intriguing and still resonating 1650s. #Republic



I recently had a fascinating discussion with Alice Hunt Alice Hunt on the HistoryExtra podcast about her book 'Republic', which looks at the revolutionary decade in Britain's history when the monarchy was abolished. Listen today wherever you download your podcasts! Faber Books


To have 'Republic' picked by Dominic Sandbrook as his favourite book of the year has made my Christmas. And, unlike Cromwell, I'll def be celebrating Christmas.


Wow, thank you very much P Λ U L F Λ R R E R for such a LOVELY review.


Thank YOU Nigel Barrett So pleased to hear this.

Hugely enjoyed talking to Elliot Bewick for this. His questions about how Britain in the 1650s might resonate for 'the next generation' really made me think.
