Once I Was A Clever Boy: The modern history of chocolate Easter Eggs

Tuesday, 12 April 2022

The Conversation has another article of seasonal interest about the relatively modern history of the chocolate Easter Egg. It can be read at Easter eggs were once a rare luxury – so how did they become so commonplace?

Once I Was A Clever Boy: I am a Catholic and a historian based in Oxford, where I am a member of Oriel College. My research, for a long delayed D.Phil., is a study of Richard Fleming, Bishop of Lincoln in the second decade of the fifteenth century. I also work as a freelance tutor in History and as an independent tour guide. I was received into the Church in 2005 and am a Brother of the External Oratory of St Philip Neri at the Oxford Oratory.
