Teaching and Research Interests
My research and teaching range broadly across early modern British history. This was an era of political turmoil from the advent of the Tudor dynasty in 1485, the politics of royal minority and queenship, through to the dynastic union of the Three Kingdoms of the seventeenth century, their wars of the 1640s and the Revolution of 1688-9. It was also an age of religious upheaval: the downfall of the late medieval church, the Tudor Reformations and their fragmentation into religious diversity and early arguments for religious toleration in the seventeenth century. I have particular interests in the political, religious, and intellectual history of the period, both British and European. Undergraduate or postgraduate students interested in working on English political, religious, or intellectual history from c.1500 to c.1700 are welcome to contact me.
My research reflects these interests in the political and religious ideas of early modern Britain, in particular the ideas and practices of Tudor and Stuart monarchy. I also work on the Church of England during the ‘Long Reformation’ from the 1530s to c.1700. My first book explored the relationship between the monarchy and the Church of England in the later seventeenth century; my current project is a study of ideas of political counsel and concepts of kingship.
I recently edited a volume on The Politics of Counsel in England and Scotland, 1286-1707 (Proceedings of the British Academy, 204, Oxford University Press, 2016) and run a project on the Politics of Counsel. For a contemporary perspective, see this blog post on How to be a successful special adviser: five tips.
