Bibliography

To write the podcast I make use of the extensive library provided by the university and my own growing collection, and when I cover a new period or region I make sure to immerse myself in the historiography of the topic. While I mainly use secondary literature, since these academics have often done the hard part of researching for me, for key texts or for certain subjects I will refer to the primary documents. In the show notes of each episode, you should find a list of some of the main publications I’ve used in writing it, and I often refer to them in the episode itself.
