Dr George Southcombe

My research focuses on two broad, overlapping areas: the history of seventeenth-century dissent, and the relationship between literature and history. In this work I have been engaged in uncovering the social depth of politics, and the importance of nonconformist print culture. In 2012 I completed a three-volume edition of nonconformist verse, which was published by Pickering and Chatto. I have also produced, alongside my friend and colleague Dr Grant Tapsell, a broader study of the late seventeenth century, which uses visual and literary materials alongside the more conventional sources of political history.
