Welcome to Middling History. This site is still under construction. I hope soon to add lots of useful resources for researchers, academics, students, and those interested in eighteenth-century Europe. While my own research specialty is the leisure culture of England’s “middling sort”, the rising middle classes of the period, I’m fascinated by the long eighteenth century (c. 1680-1820) in general. I hope you’ll find something here to help your research or to tweak your interest.
