See LessResearch Summary
Mainly I work on British (not English) history between 1660 and 1800, though I sometimes stray a bit into the nineteenth century. I started out as an economic historian, interested in the early industrial revolution. I now explore the intersections of state and the economy in the period, hitherto especially via parliamentary legislation, but now also the geography of fiscal exaction and in the future, hopefully, smuggling and evading the law. I'm a firm believer in the virtues of simple quantification as an aid both to comprehension and communication.
Teaching Summary
Mainly in British history, though I've recently developed an MA course on the concept of a seventeenth-century general crisis that requires consideration of European and extra-European history.
