I reviewed Roderick Beaton's new history of Europe for
@historytoday.com, a brisk and incredibly readable romp through millennia of European history and identity. But how new can a new history of Europe really be? And how new does it need to be?

A reminder that I will be speaking at the Oxford Literary Festival tomorrow in conversation with Richard Klein, former head of BBC 4.
We will be speaking about the book and Central Europe more broadly before opening up to questions from the audience, followed by a book-signing!

A great review of Central Europe in this week's WSJ:
'Our image of the Continent in the years before 1914 tends to emphasize Central Europe, especially Vienna, as a crossroads of high culture... but Mr. Jukic broadens the picture.'

'His expert central section, on the period between 1848 and 1914, weaves the big picture (industrialization, nationalism, liberalism, race theories) with the local varieties of secessionist factionalism and race-tinged fanaticism that made Austrian politics unmanageable'

The beauty of Rome is that it’s a modern city on top of a fascist city built on top of a romantic nationalist Italian city built on top of a Papal city built on top of a Roman city and no matter where you are, none of these layers is ever far away
