I specialise in the intellectual history of Early Modern Europe, with a particular interest in France. My first monograph was on the Wars of Religion: Political Thought in The French Wars of Religion (Cambridge 2021). My current research project is on Étienne de La Boétie (1530-1563). I am producing the first English translation of his Mémoire sur les pacification des troubles (1561) in a critical edition, alongside his renowned treatise De la Servitude Volontaire (On Voluntary Servitude). This is forthcoming with Cambridge University Press, in the ‘Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought’ series. This project forms the basis of my next book, which will be an intellectual history of La Boétie.
