Early Modern (and eighteenth-century) social and cultural English history, especially interpersonal relationships, streets and nuisances.
I came to the UEA in 2009, after lecturing at Oxford University, and for the Open University. I am a cultural historian, focusing on interpersonal relationships, material culture, nuisances and domestic and street environments in England. Unusually, I am not focused on a specific time period, but have written about historical experiences from the late-medieval period, until modern times. I have three published books: Hubbub. Filth, Noise & Stench in England (2007), Cheek by Jowl. A History of Neighbours (2012), and Rummage:a History of the Things we have Reused, Recycled and Refused to let go (2020). I have also worked on the history of deafness, the human senses, early civic planning, and dogs in the late medieval and early modern period. I am currently completing my fourth monograph, Penning Poison (OUP, September 2023) which is about anonymous letter writing. I have a website: https://www.rummage.work/
