Dr Vivienne Larminie
Research Fellow, 1640-1660
Research
Originally a historian of Warwickshire gentry and their far-flung connections, I moved outwards to lawyers, clergy, diplomats and refugees, and southwards to Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Since joining HoP recently from the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, where I was a research editor for the 17th century (and where I retain an associate role), I have worked on Wiltshire MPs. Complementary projects include: Oxford 1642–1660, on which I organised a conference in 2006; Anglo-Swiss relations; and religion and society in the Pays de Vaud, Switzerland, from the reformation to the revolution of 1798.
Publications
My publications include over 100 articles and features for Oxford DNB (notably: John Fell, bishop of Oxford and dean of Christ Church; Huguenot clergy and controversialists; devotional and political writers); ‘The Jacobean diplomatic fraternity and the protestant cause: Sir Isaac Wake and the view from Savoy’, English Historical Review cxxi (2006); ‘Oxford DNB, the du Moulin connection and the location of the Church of England in the later seventeenth century’ in A. Dunan-Page ed., The Religious Experience of the Huguenots, 1660–1750 (Ashgate, 2006); with E. Baigent and C. Brewer, ‘Gender in the archive: women in the Oxford DNB and in the Oxford English Dictionary’, Archives 31, no. 113 (2005); ‘La vie religieuse en pays de Vaud et le contexte européen’ in F. Flouck, P.-R Monbaron, M. Stubenvoll and D. Tosato-Rigo eds, De L’Ours à la Cocarde: régime bernois et révolution en pays de Vaud (1536-1798) (Payot : Lausanne, 1998) ; Wealth, kinship and culture: the seventeenth century Newdigates of Arbury and their world (Boydell and Brewer for Royal Historical Society, 1995)
