About me

I am an intellectual and cultural historian of Britain, Ireland, and France in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. These themes are explored in my PhD thesis ‘Titans of the Early World: Celtic Ideas and National Thought in Britain, Ireland, and France, 1700-1900’. I studied History at Durham University (BA) and King’s College London (MA) before beginning my PhD at the LSE.

Thesis title

'''The Titan of the Early World': Celtic Ideas and National Thought in Britain, Ireland and France, 1700-1900"
