Podcast with the wonderful Lucy Hughes-Hallett on D’Annunzio.
The seducer. "I have just met D'Annunzio. Can this be the man the great Duse loved? He is small, he is bald, and his teeth are in three different colours."
The warrior poet over Vienna. "Today I drop words; next time I will drop bombs"

HUGE THANKS to @LucyHH 🙌 for sparing the time to rage about the life and legend of Cleopatra 🐍👑
We tore into the myths — from the “femme fatale” trope 💋 to the idea she bewitched powerful men into ruin — and got into pearl-dissolving 🦪, the endless Ptolemys 🤯, and how her story reflects the anxieties of every era since 📜
Coming out 2nd April as part of our @GlosHistFest Specials 🎙️🔥

I always to recommend a few books of the year and some to look forward to in 26.
My book of the year is this superb compelling delicate scandalous and beautiful life of Buckingham and two kings @lucyhugheshh
Thank you!
This is brilliant. So good on the greatest british favourite and the two kings who adored and promoted him. (And one of the thankfully rare chief ministers to be assassinated)
Loving every page…. So far only at the foolish adventure to Spain
@LucyHH
(Ps i once wanted to write this book.)

The Scapegoat: Lucy Hughes-Hallett
The excitement and danger of James I’s court comes alive in Lucy Hughes-Hallett’s biography of the Duke of Buckingham. A profound insight into the terrifying world of the Jacobean aristocracy and a complex king

When Paul McCartney said, in an interview, that we should all be sentimental, the stiff upper lip went officially out of fashion.
@LucyHH gives us a history of emotional softness.
