History doesn't repeat itself, but sometimes it rhymes.

Welcome to my blog

Actually my two blogs. My main blog will feature occasional posts, usually on matters where a good dip into the past enriches our understanding of the present. I'll also use it to post infrequent discoveries from my research--medievalist found-footage, as it were (for more frequent show-and-tell, as well as academic announcements and the like, follow me on Twitter at @cobbpasha).

My other blog(ue) is devoted to film. On rare occasions, I find the time to watch films; on even rarer occasions, I write about them. This blog has little to do with my research at all, and that's the point. And yes I realize the word is not really French.
