Dr Charles Walton, core member and former Director of the 18th Century Centre, has returned to Warwick after a productive year based in Paris. He received a fellowship from the Paris Institute for Advanced Studies for the academic year 2015-2016 to work on his project From Eden to Terror: Reciprocity, Redistribution and the French Revolution. During this time, he also completed an essay review on Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-first Century and an article entitled ‘The Birth of Reciprocity in Eighteenth-century France’. He also began writing a book on the French Revolution for Penguin Books’ revived Pelican series.
