Nothing to do with art history, but plenty of history: I've contributed to a new book on 19th Century British Foreign Policy. The book, edited by my friend and co-author Dr. Geoffrey Hicks, looks at a previously neglected aspect of British foreign policy, and focuses on the political legacy of the Earls of Derby.
The 14th Earl of Derby (left on the cover) was Prime Minister three times, while his son, the 15th Earl (right), was Foreign Secretary twice and the only man to serve in the Cabinets of both Disraeli and Gladstone. My chapter deals with the 15th Earl's foreign policy, and the question of whether foreign interventionism is ever worthwhile. You can buy the book here!
