Guide to the classics: Margaret Cavendish’s The Blazing World pioneered speculative fiction, 400 years ago
The Blazing World is a testament to how far the written novel has travelled in the past 400 years. A literary time capsule, it holds within it the origins of a genre we now call speculative fiction.

So apparently ICE has big feelings about people posting that their guy #JonathanRoss murdered #ReneeGood, lied about having “internal bleeding”, and fled the scene like a cowardly loser (also known as an ICE agent) so definitely don’t post about him or share his name or his photo or anything like that.

An alternative account of the Bruce–de Bohun duel at Bannockburn appears in 1066 & ALL THAT (published 1930), by WC Sellar & RJ Yeatman, as one of the reasons (all unfair) for the English defeat
(Historical curiosity: WC Sellar, a Scot, was grandson of Patrick Sellar, the Duke of Sutherland’s factor during the Clearances)

I got some writing done on the trains before the laptop failed, though only one complete #blog. A bit different from my normal reading, The Empire of Civil Society is a contribution to ongoing debates about the causes of war within the IR discipline. I randomly got the book via a Verso kickstarter.
It's reasonably accessible for an academic book, with interesting bits of history, but did land on the usual 'more research required'. #history

I finished reading “The Headache Files: True Tales and Real Relief” by Werner J. Becker MD tonight and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in nonfiction about migraines, history, medicine, and/or the memoir of a doctor who has treated many patients who have chronic pain.
It was a thoughtful and educational read that included many treatment options for migraines and anecdotes about his patients.

#OTD, 24 June, in 1314, the Scottish army under King Robert I destroyed a much larger English invasion force at Bannockburn, in one of the most decisive battles in medieval history. In 1793 Robert Burns composed “Scots Wha Hae”, originally entitled “Robert Bruce’s March To Bannockburn”

"In Shackleton's Footsteps: A Return to the Heart of the Antarctic" by Henry Worsley. My rating: 5 out of 5 stars. Published in 2011.
Book description: Shackleton's descendants take on the expedition that beat him, in the most extreme Antarctic challenge known to man. On the 29th of October 1908, a party of four men, led by Ernest Shackleton, set out to be the first to reach the South Pole. Three months later, their mission was in ruins and they faced certain death if they carried on. Just 97 miles from the South Pole, Shackleton turned back.
October 2008, a team that included descendants of that original party, led by Henry Worsley, set out from Shackleton's hut to celebrate the centenary of his expedition by retracing the exact 870 mile route and going on to finish the last 97 miles.
This book weaves together the two expeditions, and the parallels are striking. I think. I really enjoyed this book.
