    Research

    My principal area of interest has been the history of the Italian states (especially Tuscany) between 1350 and 1600.

    My current research now concentrates on violence and folklore in early modern Europe.

    I am happy to supervise postgraduate students on any aspect of violence or folklore in early modern Europe (including the British Isles) as well as on any aspect of Italian history from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries.
