Loved this book - congrats to Jack (and @yalepress.bsky.social)!

Ha, what's funny is that she's exactly who I had in mind when making the guess. Paul, I don't think she's on here so tell her hello! As for feline Bertie, how could he possibly compare?

Great opportunity to get supportive feedback!

"A major shift in how we understand colonial growth in the early Caribbean, colonial-Indigenous relations, the origins of slavery in the Caribbean and North America, and the connections between piracy, privateering, and colonization." Greg O'Malley nails it. Congrats @csschmitt.bsky.social!

A collection of eight historical images from nineteenth-century Britain illustrating a collection of essays titled "Paintings, Peepshows, and Porcupines: Exhibitions in London, 1763-1851"

Haha, on it! The previous issue was a bunch of art historians, so their images were fun to play with (great essays, too).

Well thanks, my friend. It turns out--as with everything else at the journal right now--that's me. It's amazing what a few tutorials on Adobe Express can do!

Thanks, Molly!

A Brief for the Defense Placing poetry at the crossroads of American life since 1910.

@brettrushforth.bsky.social shared this with me years ago, and I return to it constantly. We must dare to risk delight. poetrysociety.org/poems/a-brie...

nous l'espérons 🤞

Thanks, Laurent, for all your support and feedback. The cover is Le Cap in 1723.

Thanks! And yes: "From Outremer to Outre-mer"

We start this book in the medieval period, and it feels like we *started* this book then, too.

Thank you!

Yes! Please only judge this book by its cover.

We'd love to. I'll make a note of it - thanks for the interest!

Image of the cover of a book titled Beyond the Ocean: France and the Atlantic World from the Crusades to the Age of Revolutions, by Christopher Hodson and Brett Rushforth. The background image is an eighteenth-century ink and watercolor rendition of the harbor of Le Cap in modern Haiti, with three ships and one small boat foregrounded in the bay and a handful of buildings scattered on the shore in the background.

Not available until June 2026, but we have a cover! #earlymodern #skystorians
