    A Giant Hidden in the Shadow of Giants - Arthur Greenwood and the Alternate History Genre

    A really good article and one that reminds me that a comprehensive biography of Arthur Greenwood was planned out by Geoffrey McDermott (British diplomat, detente enthusiast, and associate of Anthony Greenwood) just before his death in 1978. The Greenwood papers in the Bodleian have a lot of...

    Lists of Heads of Government and Heads of State

    I had the same idea, though it got a bit unwieldy going back to the middle of the 19th century. I remember I had John A. Macdonald followed by Julius Vogel, Richard Seddon, etc. and was going to repurpose my use of William Forgan Smith from a little test thread list on the Other Place. There’s...

    WI: Charles Stewart Parnell died in 1882?

    This is my instinct as well. Parnell was definitely of the right standing to be able to negotiate with the government for his OTL release and had the clout to get the No Rent Manifesto taken seriously. Reading Paul Bew’s biography of Parnell, I think quite a lot hinges on the No Rent...

    WI: Charles Stewart Parnell died in 1882?

    There’s a healthy amount of speculation about the life of Charles Stewart Parnell in a world where he isn’t brought down by the O’Shea affair and lives beyond 1891. It makes sense, given his towering significance in the movement for Irish Home Rule and his charismatic persona as a politician...

    WI: King George IV had a three-day reign?

    At the time of his father’s death in January 1820, King George IV was desperately and terribly ill. At Brighton, he complained of a cold and was quickly gripped by some terrible illness for which he was treated by bleeding overseen by Sir Henry Halford. He lost roughly 80 ounces of blood in one...

    When did OTL leaders become 'plausible'?

    Morrison is a contender but isn’t necessarily inevitable. He had a “vulgar” ambition about him and he campaigned quite aggressively for the leadership in 1935, which put a lot of people’s backs up within the party and made him quite suspect. In a scenario where Attlee has fallen to illness or...

    When did OTL leaders become 'plausible'?

    Attlee was pretty badly ill on and off from the late 1930s until basically the run-up to the 1945 election. It is implausible that he managed to get that far and go on to run the party until 1955. If you wanted a more open field of candidates that leads to Alexander coming out as a good...

    Book Nook: If It Had Happened Otherwise

    Now to write the most surreal AH of all: what if Great Men of history didn’t write alternate history with a focus on Great Men and so, because Great Men didn’t do it, the Great Man form of AH doesn’t take off?
