History of Parliament Staff
Dr Stephen Roberts
Section Editor, 1640-1660
Research
I write biographies of MPs of western England, and am currently working on Shropshire. Among the recent major figures I have written on are the regicide Col. Thomas Harrison and the religious radical - but social conservative - Sir Robert Harley. Our articles on executive committees of the Long Parliament provide a fascinating editorial opportunity to describe Parliament in action.
I am working on a book on the revolutionary regime in Wales during the interregnum. I am currently general editor of the Worcestershire Historical Society, editorial board member of the Dugdale Society and reviews editor of the journal Midland History.
Publications
My principal publications include Recovery and Restoration in an English County: Devon Local Administration 1649-1670 (1985); (co-edited), Politics and People in Revolutionary England (1986); (edited), Evesham Borough Records of the Seventeenth Century (1994); (edited), A Ministry of Enthusiasm: Centenary Essays on the Workers’ Educational Association (2003).
