Current project: An 80,000 word biography of William III

For the Routledge HIstorical Biographies series, this will provide an accessible life history of William III - concentrating on areas of study that have recently become active, and which intersect with my wider interests. These include presentation of rule, masculinity and power, the effects of an emerging public sphere, and historical identities - alongside the standard political, military, and religious themes one needs to cover to understand this figure.

Recent Project: Time in later Stuart England and Wales, 1660-1714

In recent years I have been interested in how the people of later Stuart England and Wales perceived time – particularly exploring how they periodised history (important for their sense of their place in the unfolding of chronology, and so for their political, cultural and religious priorities); and the theory that a new and ‘modern’ sense of time emerged in the early modern era – ensuring that people saw time as progressive, ‘empty’, and flowing, rather than as repeating basic patterns that meant it was ‘full’ of the moral meanings God had encoded within it (my investigations have led me to be sceptical of these ideas – whilst acknowledging that notions of time were varied in the seventeenth century). Work has resulted on articles in the Journal of British Studies on daily news and the construction of time; and in the Historical Journal and Studies in Church History on Gilbert Burnet’s periodization of reformation and recent history; and in Etudes Episteme on the dating of the Reformation in late Stuart England. I recently finished a book on the placing of the Glorious Revolution in time by those whose experienced it.
