This article investigates Parsons's lecture tour of Britain in the winter of 1888, based on an invitation from the Socialist League to address meetings to commemorate the Haymarket Affair and tour the country to speak more broadly about the labour movement and working conditions in America. It considers the political lecture tour as a tool to conduct revolutionary activism at a crucial time in the development of the British socialist movement, while also understanding Parsons as a transnational anarchist activist and speaker in her own right. A widowed Black working-class woman activist of few means who navigated stages and territories which did not tend to welcome women of any colour, Parsons employed different rhetorical strategies to get her revolutionary message to as wide an audience as possible. Notwithstanding her pioneering role in crossing the Atlantic to deliver revolutionary propaganda to British audiences, in the political history of Black America Parsons remained a complicated and sometimes divisive figure for prioritizing issues of class over race. Nonetheless, over more than six decades on the political stage, Parsons was an extraordinary figure who articulated counter-hegemonic notions of internationalism.</p>","PeriodicalId":13162,"journal":{"name":"History","volume":"110 392","pages":"502-525"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-229X.70033","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144923365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An earlier approach to the papacy by Alexios’ predecessor, Michael VII, has also been highlighted. One piece of evidence has been neglected, however. According to Benzo of Alba, as early as 1062, Emperor Constantine X sent a letter to the anti-pope Honorius II in which oblique mention is made of the liberation of Jerusalem. This document has usually been regarded as a fabrication designed to advance Benzo's own agenda. By contrast, this article considers whether Benzo's text might in fact be his rendering of a genuine Byzantine letter, full of errors and misunderstandings, but retaining elements of the original. On that basis, three areas in which the 1062 embassy may be of significance will be explored: Constantine X's response to the changing situation in Italy during the 1060s, Byzantine attempts to link ecclesiastical reconciliation to an anti-Norman alliance, and a possible early example of exploitation of western reverence for the Holy Sepulchre to bring in aid against new enemies in the east. On the basis of the last point, it will be suggested that Byzantine involvement in the genesis of the First Crusade may have begun over thirty years before it was launched.</p>","PeriodicalId":13162,"journal":{"name":"History","volume":"110 392","pages":"459-473"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-229X.70032","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144923724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
