These are some articles I have written over the years on classical and historical fencing and the history thereof. Note that my thinking has changed over time; what I wrote several years ago might not be my opinion today. I am purposely excluding the several papers I've written on Agrippa, since they have all been incorporated into the published work.

Daggers of the Mind: Towards a Historiography of Fencing (1998)
I wrote this at Boston University towards my MA in history. It is a first stab towards a critical historiography of fencing. (Previously published in Estafilade and the Journal of Western Martial Arts.)

It's all in the Timing (1999?)
An attempt to universalize timing concepts in Italian rapier for the online magazine fightingarts.com. While still useful, I see it today as a bit muddled and would probably pay closer attention to the source texts while also relating the ideas to classical and modern fencing terminology.

The Other Wild West (1999)
Fencing in 19th and early 20th century New York. Somewhat dated, but still interesting. (Previously published in Hammerterz Forum.)

Review of Sydney Anglos' Martial Arts of Renaissance Europe (2001)
A critique of Professor Anglo's extraordinarily significant monograph. My main problem is that he pays too much attention to the "martial" and not enough to the "art," while at the same time not understanding the nomenon of fencing itself. (Previously published in Estafilade and The Fightmaster.)

Description of the Paris Fiore MS ("Florius de arte lutandi," BnF MS Lat 11269) (2008)
Codicological analysis of the "fourth Fiore" I found in Paris. (Unpublished.)

French Stick Traditions (2008)
Observations on some of my training in France

Words and Swords: The Maître d'Escrime and the Creation of Bourgeois Masculinity (2009)
This was a paper given at the NYU Department of French's Unbecoming Masters conference. All I can say is that it was, like all history (which Isidore of Seville reminds us is a form of rhetoric) written to its audience.
