- About Me
I specialise in early modern religious literature, visual culture, and the artistic and musical pursuits of clergymen in post-Reformation England.
Other research interests include loneliness, both in early modern writings and within the academy today. An article on this topic was recently published in The Lancet Psychiatry (co-author: Thomas Clifton). Our edited collection, Writing Early Modern Loneliness, is forthcoming with Palgrave Macmillan.
I have also worked as a consultant for the BBC’s acclaimed series, A House Through Time, uncovering crucial biographical material relating to an eighteenth-century Particular Baptist minister (Series 3, Episode 2).
Current Position: Leverhulme Early Career Fellow, University of Manchester (2022–present)
Qualifications: DipABRSM, LRSM, BMus (Hons), MSt (Oxon) PhD AFHEA
