Current Research


 
  I have on hand a number of part-finished projects, which I intend to complete in the short or medium term:

 
 
1. An edition of Gulliver's Travels for the CUP ‘Complete Writings of Jonathan Swift'.

2. An edition of Boswell's Life of Johnson for Penguin Books.

3. A monograph on history plays and historical narrative in the sixteenth century for OUP.

 
  Thereafter, I want to work on two topics, both of which I expect to write up as monographs:

 
 

1. The culture of Whiggism, 1680-1728.

2. Literature and Empire in Britain , 1760-1800.
