Senior Research Fellow, Lords 1660-1832
Research
For the History of Parliament I have written a number of biographies on peers based in the north of England – among others, the earls of Carlisle, earl of Northumberland, Viscount Fauconberg and the earl of Burlington. For this last biography I used the earl's extensive diary, and I am now co-editing this text for publication. I am interested in Burlington through my previous employment preparing for web publication the 'workdiaries' of his younger brother, the natural philosopher Robert Boyle. I am also co-editing a documentary history of immigrants in early modern England, the subject of my original doctoral research.
Publications
I have recently published two articles on aspects of my previous research: ‘Ancient Languages and New Science: The Levant in the Intellectual Life of Robert Boyle’ in A. Hamilton and B. Westerweel (eds), The Republic of Letters in the Levant (Intersections: Yearbook for Earl Modern Studies vol. 5) (Brill, 2005), 152-71 and 'The Strangers, their Churches and the Continent: continuing and changing connexions’ in Nigel Goose and Lien Luu, eds, Immigrants in Tudor and early Stuart England (Sussex Academic Press, 2005), 177-91
