RESEARCH:
The title of the PhD I have completed is ‘”Mixing Religious Rites with Civil Institutions”: Religion and Civil Order in Henry Fielding’s Writings’. While I was a student, I attended the annual BSECS conferences in Oxford University and presented the following papers: ‘The absence of a good parson in Tom Jones’ (2004); ‘Religion, Politics, and Henry Fielding (2005); ‘The Problem of Amelia: Gambling, Religion, and the conversion of Captain Booth (2006). One of these papers, ‘The absence of a good parson in Tom Jones’, I have developed further in article form and recently submitted for publication in a scholarly Journal. The reviewers have found the article an interesting one, but have advised certain revisions which I am now working on.
