" I am an early modern British historian, with interests in popular politics and religion during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. My research has focused on different forms and meanings of community in early modern England and on the nature of conflict within these communities. I have written on Gloucestershire parishes, and my current project, entitled 'Hunting and the Meanings of Violence in Early Modern England,' concerns the politics of forests and hunting during the early seventeenth century, including their significance in the English revolution.
