Fellowship Work Summary, 2023–24
Tom Johnson drafted a proposal, the introduction, and several of the short chapters for his book in progress, The Reckoners, which secured a contract with Allen Lane. Together with Claire Judde de Larivière (Toulouse-2), he finished a final draft of an article “Ordinary Politics in Late-Medieval Europe” that will be published in Past & Present in 2025. Tom also wrote an essay entitled “I adjure you, egg: medieval magic”, that appeared in the London Review of Books (3/21/24); and completed two other essays for the LRB that will be published in due course.
