I understand that I am biased

but it's great to open a book and see "it's not really possible to understand the shape of the modern world without understanding Early Modern Europe"

(The Unintended Reformation: How a Religious Revolution Secularized Society, Brad S. Gregory)

interest in/research on food culture is leading me back into historical thinking and Protestant history and theology. and yet, just from this book, things I was interested in (what I thought was) separately from the food project:

  • Periodization and Sovereignty: How Ideas of Feudalism and Secularization Govern the Politics of Time, on my to-read list for at least seven years
  • John Duns Scotus1, who I've been meaning to read since learning about him from some very good Narnia fanfic (seriously, very highly recommended)
  • the Marxist historian Christopher Hill
  • the role of faith in modern life
  • my interest in Early Modern Europe, which I had previously regarded as more-or-less distinct from my interest in American agriculture

so I guess my interests are fundamentally an ouroboros... just haven't fully figured out yet how they all tie together


  1. almost missed autocorrect turning this into SCOTUS. different thing tho
