Tim Harris
Tim Harris received his BA and PhD from Cambridge University and was a Fellow of Emmanuel College from 1983 to 1986. He moved to Brown University, Providence, R.I., in 1986, where he teaches a wide range of courses in the political, religious, intellectual, social and cultural history of early modern England, Scotland and Ireland and where he is now Munro-Goodwin-Wilkinson Professor in European History. A social historian of politics, he has written about the interface of high and low politics, popular protest movements, ideology and propaganda, party politics, popular culture, and the politics of religious dissent during Britain’s Age of Revolutions. His books include London Crowds in the Reign of Charles II (Cambridge University Press, 1987), The Politics of Religion in Restoration England (Basil Blackwell, 1990), Politics under the Later Stuarts (Longman, 1993), Popular Culture in England, c. 1500-1850 (Macmillan, 1995), The Politics of the Excluded, c. 1500-1850 (Palgrave, 2001), Restoration: Charles II and His Kingdoms 1660-1685 (Penguin, 2005) and Revolution: The Great Crisis of the British Monarchy, 1685-1720 (Penguin, 2006). He served as an Associate Editor for the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and most recently has co-edited the Roger Morrice ‘Ent’ring Book’, a massive political journal (some of it in shorthand) documenting the trials and tribulations of ‘godly’ Protestants across Britain and Europe from the late 1670s until the early 1690s (Boydell Press, 2007). He is currently working on a ‘prequel’ to his books Restoration and Revolution and a study of ‘Prejudice’ in early modern England.
