About Me

I specialise in early modern religious literature, visual culture, and the artistic pursuits of clergymen in post-Reformation England. Since completing my PhD thesis on images in the early modern English sermon, I have been awarded a number of grants and Fellowships including, most recently, a John Rylands Library Visiting Early Career Research Fellowship.

Other research interests include loneliness, both in early modern writings and within the academy today. Together with Thomas Clifton (Birmingham), I organised ‘The Experience of Loneliness in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries’ (online conference, University of Birmingham, 29–30 June 2021).

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: Research Assistant, ‘GEMMS – Gateway to Early Modern Manuscript Sermons’, University of Regina

Qualifications: DipABRSM, LRSM, BMus (Hons), MSt (Oxon) PhD AFHEA
