History Today January 2020

ISSUE 1 of volume 70 of History Today is also the first issue of my new six-for-£12 subscription to the magazine.

I would not say any article stood out for me, but I  at least skimmed though everything, so I got my £2-worth even though signs of political correctness - "With the coming of Christianity, all balance was lost," "[Marie-Antoinette's] initial pleasure-seeking and early attempts at political interference were a kind of 'displacement activity'" - are creeping in again.
