Trosolwyg
I joined the History Department at Cardiff University in October 2019 as Lecturer in Early Modern History. My research and teaching focus on the intellectual, religious, and political history of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in Britain and Europe as well as the history of political thought. I am especially interested in the history of civil religion in the 'long Reformation' and the Enlightenment, showing how lay and clerical intellectuals drew on the political and religious ideas of the classical world, Renaissance, and Protestant Reformation in their analyses of the church-state relationship and defences of religious toleration. I explore these and related themes in my recent monograph, Civil Religion and the Enlightenment in England, 1707-1800 (2020) and in articles in the Historical Journal, History of Political Thought, English Historical Review, and Journal of British Studies.

Ymchwil
I am an intellectual, religious, and political historian of early modern Europe with a particular interest in the relationship between religion and the Enlightenment and the history of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century political thought. I am especially interested in the history of civil religion in the 'long Reformation' and the Enlightenment, showing how lay and clerical intellectuals drew on the political and religious ideas of the classical world, Renaissance, and Protestant Reformation in their analyses of the church-state relationship and defences of religious toleration. I explore these and related themes in my recent monograph, Civil Religion and the Enlightenment in England, 1707-1800 (2020) and in articles in the Historical Journal, History of Political Thought, English Historical Review, and Journal of British Studies.
