Research Interests

 
My research focuses on British politics and religion c.1660-1750 within an international context. My first book, The English Catholic Community 1688-1745: Politics, Culture and Ideology (2009) argued that English recusant lives were imprinted with moral, religious and ideological questions created not just within their own kingdom, but in the European courts, seminaries and universities that supported them during periods of exile. My current research examines the impact of imperialism upon domestic political, religious and moral debates within late Stuart Britain. I am especially interested in tracing connections between responses to the early empire, and the political instability that disrupted the reigns of Charles II and James II,and in examining how attitudes towards imperialism were shaped by British awareness of a wider global context, including the affairs of continental Europe, North Africa and the Ottoman territories.
