Some #histSTM on Radio 4 this morning with 18thC naturalist Georg Forster
This was fun! Thank you @seanmcarroll.bsky.social for letting me talk about THREE books not just one.
Happy publication day to THE TRAVELLER by @andreawulf.bsky.social on the adventures of an enlightened hero of C18 romanticism
Needless to say, the moment I heard that @andreawulf.bsky.social had a new book out, I immediately had to run out and buy a copy. Can't wait to read this!
I wrote a piece in The Observer about George Forster and “The Traveller”.
Ich freue mich schon sehr auf das neueste Buch von @andreawulf.bsky.social, es soll im Herbst erscheinen:

Was kommt nach Illies Zauber der Stille?
Ich hab ihren Humboldt so geliebt, weil ich Humboldt auch einfach sehr gern mag. Die Vermessung des Himmels war grandios.
Und dieser Prolog ist toll. #Lesenistgeil @andreawulf.bsky.social (sie ist bei Bluesky 😊)
Thrilled to be on Start the Week on BBC Radio 4 tomorrow morning at 9am to discuss George Forster and my new book "The Traveller".
Fab review of "The Traveller" in @theguardian.com
"The richness of Wulf’s research – drawn from Forster’s personal correspondence, diaries and essays, as well as those of his contemporaries – injects a novelistic specificity into the scenes she reconstructs" www.theguardian.com/books/2026/j...

"Unlike the ship’s crew, Forster was concerned by how the expedition’s presence in the Pacific islands would damage social relations and disrupt local economies ... He deplored the “vengeful” nature of his fellow sailors and spent his time with the Indigenous people they made contact with ..."
