Inspired by the #BSECS2026 talk on the fabulous "Three Thousand Dishes on a Georgian Table, 1788-1813" data compiled by @historybeagle and team, I pulled together this website:
https://threethousanddishes.hubers.org.uk/
It is such a fun dataset to explore!

Off to Pembroke College, Oxford, for three days of #BSECS2026. Fabulous academic programme, friends and colleagues, wine and entertainment.
If you're working on a digital project or have ideas to share, I’d be thrilled to chat!

In 1998 I was honored to serve again as the Organizer of the British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies Annual Conference held at St John's College Oxford (3-5 January 1998). This document is a copy of the Conference Programme. Happy times !
Many thanks to the programme committee and organizers, and to the #BSECS executive and president Brycchan Carey for a fantastic #BSECS2024!
Hope to see you all next year for #BSECS2025!
Looking forward to attending my 22nd @BSECS annual conference this week. On the day registration for #BSECS2024 “Work and Play” is still open.

Did you know you can now both visualize the corpus of the #EighteenthCenturyPoetryArchive in @VoyantTools:
https://voyant-tools.org/?corpus=75739783cfd1343213dabdafd675dcb5
and explore it computationally in the #Spyral notebook environment:

Here are a couple of interesting links which came my way recently. Firstly, a #HEMA article about Thomas Page:
https://www.keithfarrell.net/blog/2018/08/thomas-page-and-timothy-buck/
It's good that this links back to the artcle on https://sirwilliamhope.org, which stems from an original #BSECS lecture.
This one relates to whether or not 17th/18th/19th century fire brigades would refuse to put out fires in uninsured houses (apparently not, in general):
Many thanks to the programme committee and organizers, and to the @BSECS executive and president @Brycchan for a fantastic #BSECS2023!
Hope to see you all next year for #BSECS2024!
