For this #WorldBookDay I am happy to announce that I will be taking over as book reviews editor for @NauticalHistory's quarterly journal, The Mariner's Mirror! If you are a PhD or ECR involved in any aspect of maritime history please get in touch and circulate widely! 📖⚓️⛵️🌊

@helmers_h @Prof_Murdoch @misswalsingham That’s what I was thinking! Maybe if there’s a document from 1.01.02 underpinning Seton/Gray in the Nationaal Archief Cockburn could be in there. More than happy to pass on the TNA refs, I’ll shoot you a PM!

@helmers_h @Prof_Murdoch @misswalsingham In April 1623, cols. John Seton and Andrew Gray both tried to negotiate with the SG for men, possibly for Mansfeld. In both TNA lists, Cockburn appears with Gray. Maybe in Gray's 1620 levy then, @Prof_Murdoch do you have muster roll for that? Seems like this must all be linked?

@helmers_h @Prof_Murdoch @misswalsingham A Sgt. Mjr. Cockburn appears in two lists for Mansfeld's officers in 1624 in TNA, happy to share those references with you! Quite possibly Peter Cockburn: a number of officers transferred in 1627 from the Anglo-Dutch expedition to Denmark at that time, all based around Stade.

Delighted to say that my latest article has just been published in the Mariner's Mirror @NauticalHistory. It's about pirates, fish, and seafarers - and how they all fit together as part of a wider Atlantic 'political ecology' in the early 17th century. doi.org/10.1080/002533…

A book review I wrote of the late David Graeber's Pirate Enlightenment has just now gone to print with @NauticalHistory and the Mariner's Mirror! Feel free to check it out here📚: tandfonline.com/eprint/PB9HYVU…

Very pleased to learn that the RDS Jack Medal from IASSL @IASSL_ScotLit has been awarded to Jamie Reid Baxter's article on Esther Inglis as Franco-Jacobean poet, published in Studies in Scottish Literature 48.2. Just in time for @EstherInglis24

🚨🚨Annales Braudel Internship The journal is looking for an Anglophone graduate student, familiar with the #humanities and the social sciences, and interested in the #editorial work of scholarly journals.📚

Delighted to say that my review of War, Trade and the State: Anglo-Dutch conflict, 1652–89 is available to read in the latest volume of The Mariner's Mirror, alongwith a whole host of other wonderful articles and reviews! doi.org/10.1080/002533…

CFP deadline next week! 🚨🚢⚓️🛶⛵️

@emswifthook Thank you! 😀

Insightful review, and this book is now firmly on my TBR...

Happy to announce my review of Adam Marks' important book 'England and the Thirty Years' War' has been published with @britjnlmilhist, available here with open access: bjmh.gold.ac.uk/article/view/1…

For the small number of people who might be interested in priests squabbling about Jesuit curriculum and its use for the Catholic mission in Scotland, my recent article on the subject is now available! cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Watch to the end to see yours truly (literally) moonlighting as a fiddler instead of a historian! Get in touch and book the Kilrymont Ceilidh Band for all of your indoor and outdoor ceilidh needs 😎

Said it before but Alexander Leslie and the Scottish Generals of the Thirty Years' War, 1618–1648 (Steve Murdoch and Alexia Grosjean) is one of my favourite books on the Thirty Years' War & 17th century Scottish military #history. A must read for those interested in that period.
