Machiavelli: military judgement & political thought
2025-09-22 19:30 - 21:00 | BRLSI, 16-18 Queen Square, Bath, Bath & North East Somerset, BA1 2HN, United Kingdom
Ready to take your next journey of Discovery? The Renaissance: Journeys of Discovery at BRLSI is a yearlong programme of talks and events exploring the many joys, discoveries and something of the broader cultural legacy of a movement still making waves in the 21st century. Brunelleschi, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Martin Luther, Cervantes, Shakespeare, Chaucer, Machiavelli, Hieronymus Bosch, if you love culture then you’ll love our new talks series!

Many of us think we know what it is to be “Machiavellian” but do we really? A virtual consensus developed early in the 20th century that Machiavelli’s judgement in military matters was little better than deplorable. From Hans Delbruck and Martin Hobohm in Germany, to Piero Pieri in Italy, to Michael Mallet in England later in the century, historians of war and its relation to politics and society agreed that, although he may have been a kind of theoretical genius, Machiavelli couldn’t tell a freebooting mercenary from a professional soldier or a modern siege train from an ancient trebuchet!

This judgement was more or less accepted by political theorists and intellectual historians, who either acquiesced by leaving military matters to the side or jumped in by diagnosing how the master of power politics could get military power so very wrong.

By the beginning of the 21st century, however, scholars had begun to come back around to Clausewitz’s more probing insight that “Machiavelli was a very sound judge of military matters.”

BRLSI’s upcoming talk helps to develop the growing recognition of the merits of Machiavelli’s military experience and acumen, and, more importantly, it will examine ways in which his military, political and philosophical thought were essentially one and the same.

Dr Christopher Lynch is a Professor of Political Science and the Department Head of The Political Science and Philosophy Department at Missouri State University. He has served as a senior adviser in the United States Department of State. Translator and editor of Machiavelli’s Art of War (University of Chicago, 2003) and co-editor of Principle and Prudence in Western Political Thought (SUNY, 2016), he recently completed Machiavelli on War (Cornell, 2023), a comprehensive treatment of the subject. He is now working on a translation of Machiavelli’s poems, stories, and comedic letters as well as a book on classical, biblical, and liberal alternatives to Machiavelli’s understanding of war and peace.

Geoff Norcott: Basic Bloke 2
2025-09-21 20:00 - 22:00 | Komedia Bath, 22-23 Westgate St, Bath, BA1 1EP, United Kingdom
New national tour 2025-2026 for star of Have I Got News For You, The Last Leg, Would I Lie to You?, Live At The Apollo, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Backstage With Katherine Ryan, The Mash Report, The News Quiz, Geoff Norcott’s Working Men’s Club and many more!

‘He has become one of our most refreshingly funny comedians of any stripe.’ ★★★★ – Dominic Maxwell, The Times

Basic Bloke 2 – is Geoff’s first tour under a Labour government, so he’s got plenty to get off his chest!

Geoff’s also taking advantage of the rediscovered tolerance towards jokes being jokes to tell you what he really thinks. How much he judges people. Bad parents, people who eat too much, anyone who wears a dressing gown beyond 9am…it’s fair to say the gloves are off.

‘The Laughs roll in like waves.’ ★★★★ – Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard

Unlike most sequels, Basic Bloke 2 will move beyond some of the themes of the original (while fully aware that a comedian doing a ‘sequel’ at all is a bit ridiculous). He’s been moving in male mental health circles for a while how, but while they’re all saying blokes should ‘check in’ on each other, he’s wondering what happens if you do ‘check in’ all the time but they mainly want to send you politically incorrect memes.

‘Geoff Norcott is in his element on the stand-up stage.’ – Daily Mail

The Compound houses a very unique and historically significant feature – the only remaining Supper Box in England. The Supper Box is currently a ruin in the park and we are fundraising to save this important structure from complete decay and destruction.

The Place of Tides with James Rebanks
2025-09-20 19:00 - 21:00 | St Swithin’s Church, 37 The Paragon, Bath, BA1 5LY, United Kingdom
Mr B’s are thrilled to welcome farmer and bestselling author, James Rebanks, to Bath for the paperback release of his new book, The Place of Tides.

From the author of the phenemonal bestseller, The Shepherd’s Life, and the Sunday Times Nature Book of the Year, English Pastoral, comes an unforgettable story of friendship, redemption and a life-changing voyage of discovery on a remote Norwegian island.

The Place of Tides was a favourite of many members of the team here at Mr B’s when it was released in hardback last year, and we are delighted to have the chance to host James for this very special event.

James will be in conversation with Noreen Masud, author of the Women’s Prize Shortlisted memoir, A Flat Place, a huge Mr B’s team favourite.

About the book:

How far do you have to go to find yourself?

One afternoon many years ago, James Rebanks met an old woman on a remote Norwegian island. She lived and worked alone on a tiny rocky outcrop, caring for wild Eider ducks and gathering their down. Hers was a centuries-old trade that had once made men and women rich, but had long been in decline. Still, somehow, she seemed to be hanging on.

Back at home, Rebanks couldn’t stop thinking about the woman on the rocks. She was fierce and otherworldly – and yet strangely familiar. Years passed. Then, one day, he wrote her a letter, asking if he could return. Bring work clothes, she replied, and good boots, and come quickly: her health was failing. And so he travelled to the edge of the Arctic to witness her last season on the island.

This is the story of that season. It is the story of a unique and ancient landscape, and of the woman who brought it back to life. It traces the pattern of her work from the rough, isolated toil of bitter winter, to the elation of the endless summer light, when the birds leave behind their precious down for gathering, like feathered gold.

Slowly, Rebanks begins to understand that this woman and her world are not what he had previously thought. What began as a journey of escape becomes an extraordinary lesson in self-knowledge and forgiveness.

‘Humane, beautifully paced, gentle, and strangely compelling, The Place of Tides feels like, not only a modern classic, but one we very much need right now’ George Saunders

‘James Rebanks has done a miraculous thing. A profound, transformative, uplifting story’ Isabella Tree

‘An extraordinary story, gently told. This was just the book I needed’ Nigel Slater

‘A charismatic portrait of fidelity and the true meaning of home.’ Nick Offerman

Bath Rugby V Exeter Chiefs
2025-09-20 15:05 - 17:00 | Bath & North East Somerset
Premiership Rugby Group A – Bath Vs Exeter at The Rec.

From Cloister to Court
2025-09-20 15:00 - 16:00 | St Mary’s Church, Darlington Street, Bathwick, Bath, Bath & North East Somerset, BA2 4EB, United Kingdom
Taking place at St. Mary’s Church Hall, Darlington Street, Bathwick, Bath.

Musicke in the Ayre continue their concert series at St Mary’s Bathwick with a programme covering 5 centuries of compositions by women, beginning in the High Middle Ages with the 12th century Abbess, Hildegard von Bingen. The early church provided musically-gifted women a secure environment in which to receive musical training and to exercise their talents: in the 17th century this allowed women like Isabella Leonarda, Chiara Cozzolani and Lucretia Vizzana to produce outstanding music for the church. By that stage, patronage from the noble courts – particularly in Italy – made it possible for some outstanding women to establish themselves as composers in the secular world. In Florence in 1607, the Medici court employed the young Francesca Caccini as their leading musician; a decade later she published an exceptional book of secular and sacred songs. A generation later in Venice, the amazing Barbara Strozzi survived notoriety, holding her own in a male-dominated society; she published 8 books, dedicated to a variety of patrons.

The concert features a contrasting set of sacred and secular pieces by these remarkable women, sung by a new grouping of Musicke in the Ayre’s singing team: locally-based Jane Hunt is joined by Carmel Edwards from Derbyshire and Alice Simmons from Marlborough. They’ll be accompanied as usual by Din Ghani on various lutes and baroque guitar (most of which were built by him).

Since its formation in 2012, Musicke in the Ayre have enthused audiences across Great Britain and on the Continent in over 180 recitals, each with Din accompanying one to four singers from an evolving squad. They have held residencies at the National Portrait Gallery and the Charterhouse in London, and at the Museum of Bath Architecture and (currently) St Mary’s Bathwick. They have performed regularly in Frome Festival since 2018; this year’s appearance attracted the following comment: “It was a stunning concert. Beautiful voices and playing.

Sometimes, in fact, it shapes the very plots of the novels. Unlike Jane Austen’s Emma, we must learn to listen to the gossip.
