Karen's dissertation was John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater as evidenced by his letter collection 1630-42. For Milton scholars, there is a fantastic chapter on Milton's Comus!

AnnouncementTHANK YOU JAN BROADWAY!

CELL would like publicly to thank Dr Jan Broadway for valiantly taking over as Acting Director, at short notice, for the past six months, to cover for Professor Jardine's illness. The Director is now fit and well and back in post, and is well aware that the fact that she finds things at CELL in such apple-pie order is entirely thanks to Jan!

Noah's thesis, entitled “Making it Official: Experiments in Institutionality and the Employees and Publications of the Royal Society, 1675-1705” was examined by Professor Rob Iliffe (University of Sussex) and Dr Adam Smyth (Birkbeck).

Well done, Noah!

AnnouncementHelp out the History of Parliament!

The History of Parliament, the collective biography of thousands of MPs from the misty origins of the Commons in the fourteenth century through to the Great Reform Act of 1832, is the indispensible resource for any scholar working on British political history.

Soon to be launched online, the History of Parliament is conducting a survey of users. This survey will feed into a review of its activities and its publications as part of a process to set a strategy for the next ten years, so the results will have a big impact on a major scholarly endeavour. Please help out and take the survey!
