The Burning Archive

where the past is not past and culture is not in flames

Welcome to the Burning Archive. Here since 2015 I have kept safe from the flames of cultural decay my responses to the writers, stories, institutions and traditions that make the flowers of my mind.

I have many interests, but they centre on history, culture, writing, and governing well. Explore the site. Listen to my podcast. Buy my books. Join the infinite conversation.
