Friday Notes

A. E. Harvey,"What He Said," TLS, 4 April, reviews Richard Bauckham's Jesus and the Eyewitnesses, which challenges modern form criticism's conclusions about the relationship of the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

Christopher Hart,"Offal & Ordure," Literary Review, n.d., reviews Emily Cockayne's Hubbub: Filth, Noise, and Stench in England, 1600-1770. Hat tips.

Edward Rothstein,"An Upgrade for Ye Olde History Park," NYT, 6 April, takes another look at Colonial Williamsburg.

Congratulations to the historians who have won Guggenheim Awards for 2007, including Cliopatria's friend, Mary Dudziak, who blogs at Legal History Blog.
