Mark Burden, BA, MSt (Trinity College, Oxford)
AHRC/ESRC Religion and Society Programme Collaborative Research Studentship Holder
email: m_k_burden@yahoo.co.uk
Mark Burden’s MSt research involved an assessment of the contribution of Restoration dissenters to the evolution of psalmody and hymnody, an analysis of the publication of John Bunyan’s sermons, and a dissertation on the politics of the publishers John and Henry Playford. Since then he has been exploring the relationship between local historical research into dissent and the study of its national political significance; he has also published a bibliographic study of John Playford’s groundbreaking mid-seventeenth-century manual, A Brief Introduction to the Skill of Musick.

He has written papers on ‘Richard Baxter and the Dissenting Academies’, and on ‘The Dissenting Academies in the 1680s’. He is also working to reconstruct early tutors’ libraries and to explore attempts by John Owen, Philip Wharton and others to finance the earliest academies.

AHRC funded Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Dissenting Academies Project
email: r.j.dixon@qmul.ac.uk
Rosemary Dixon’s research is concerned with the literary and religious culture of the long eighteenth century, with a particular focus on the history of the book. She has recently completed a PhD on the publishing and reception of John Tillotson’s sermons, which establishes the centrality of sermons to print culture, and explains how Tillotson became one of the eighteenth century’s most eminent authors. This thesis will form the basis of her first book: a study of the roles played by the printed sermon in late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England. Her publications include a bibliographical account of ‘The Publishing of John Tillotson’s Works’, The Library, 8 (2007), and an analysis of ‘Sermon Publishing, Clerical Reading, and John Wilkins’s Ecclesiastes, 1646-1750’, forthcoming in the new annual Religion in the Age of Enlightenment (2009). Her survey chapter on sermons in print in the later seventeenth century will appear in The Oxford Handbook of the Early Modern Sermon (Oxford University Press, forthcoming 2010). Her next project will focus on the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge as a publisher and distributor of religious books and tracts (1699-c.1800).
As a postdoctoral fellow on the AHRC-funded project ‘Dissenting Academy Libraries and their Readers, 1720-1860’, which she joined in June 2009, she is part of a team that will reconstruct the libraries of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century academies, and attempt to show how their books were used.

Kyle Roberts, BA (Williams), MA, PhD (University of Pennsylvania)
AHRC funded Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Dissenting Academies Project
email: k.b.roberts@qmul.ac.uk
Kyle Roberts is interested in the cultures of print and faith circulating throughout the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Atlantic World. His first book, ‘Evangelical Gotham: Religion and the Making of the Antebellum City, 1783-1860’ (now in manuscript), is based on his 2007 University of Pennsylvania PhD and uses New York City as a case study for exploring the intersection of modernization, urbanization, and the expansion of evangelicalism in America’s fastest growing city in the first half of the nineteenth century. His work is interdisciplinary by nature, combining methodologies from religion, history, literature, and material and print culture, to reconstruct the ways in which different religious movements spread and the tools and networks critical to that dissemination.
As a postdoctoral fellow on the AHRC funded project ‘Dissenting Academy Libraries and their Readers, 1720-1860,’ he will be involved in the reconstruction and online presentation of the libraries of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century academies and will contribute to the multi-authored volume, A History of the Dissenting Academies in the British Isles, 1660-1860. Before joining the Dissenting Academies Project in June 2009, he held the Hench Post-dissertation Fellowship at the American Antiquarian Society and taught in the History Department at Georgetown University.
He has published and given papers on topics as diverse as evangelical tracts, urban religion, and ecclesiastical architecture. His publications include ‘Locating Popular Religion in the Evangelical Tract: The Roots and Routes of The Dairyman’s Daughter,’ Early American Studies (Spring 2006), and a historiographical essay on ‘Urban Religion to 1900’ in the Blackwell Companion to American Urban History (forthcoming 2010). He is currently working on an article on the publishing history of the New-England Primer. He is also working on a chapter on the development of New York City’s spiritual landscape for an edited volume produced by a working group sponsored by Florida State, Indiana, and West Virginia universities, and funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, that focuses on using geographically integrated software, such as GIS and Google Earth, to think more broadly about the place of religion in the Atlantic World.

Professor Whelan has been teaching Early American Literature since 1989. His early research interests concerned the poetry and prose of the American Puritan, Anne Bradstreet, as well as American religious history. Since 1998, however, his research has focused on British nonconformity (primarily Baptist and Unitarian), 1750-1850, and its intersection with literature and culture, with special focus on the relationship among certain nonconformists and such Romantic figures as Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Joseph Cottle, George Dyer, Henry Crabb Robinson, and others. He has forthcoming articles in Eighteenth-Century Studies, Transactions of the Unitarian Historical Society, and Wordsworth and Coleridge in the West Country, ed. Nick Roe (Palgrave, 2009). His current project includes an eight-volume set for Pickering & Chatto entitled Nonconformist British Women’s Writing, 1720-1840, presenting the published and unpublished poetry and prose of a remarkable group of Baptist women (and one Unitarian) from the West Country, including Anne Steele, Mary Steele, Mary Scott, and Maria Saffery.

James Vigus, BA, MPhil, PhD (Cambridge)
Visiting Research Fellow, Dr Williams’s Centre, and Assistant Editor, Crabb Robinson Project
email: vigus.james@gmail.com
James Vigus is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich (from October 2009). His research project, entitled From Unitarianism to Romanticism: philosophical necessity and aesthetic autonomy, will test the hypothesis that prominent Unitarian travellers to Germany around 1800 set off with questions about the freedom of the will, and returned with a passionate interest in aesthetics.
He will begin this work by critically editing a five-year portion of Henry Crabb Robinson’s voluminous correspondence (1800-1805). He will thus build on his previous research project at the University of Jena, the main result of which is the book Henry Crabb Robinson: Essays on Kant, Schelling, and German Aesthetics, due to be published by Maney in 2010.
Recent publications related to the English Romantic reception of German thought include the monograph Platonic Coleridge (Oxford: Legenda, 2009 – a revision of his Ph.D. thesis completed at the University of Cambridge in 2006), and the article ‘Zwischen Kantianismus und Schellingianismus: Henry Crabb Robinsons Privatvorlesungen über Philosophie für Madame de Staël 1804 inWeimar’, in Germaine de Staël und ihr erstes deutsches Publikum, ed. Gerhard R. Kaiser and Olaf Müller (Heidelberg: Winter, 2008), 357-93. Together with Jane Wright (Bristol), he has edited Coleridge’s Afterlives (Basingstoke: Palgrave, 2008).
He has taught English Literature and Philosophy in Jena, and is Reviews Editor of the Coleridge Bulletin.
