Anthony’s research focuses on the Enlightenment and British culture in the age of revolutions. Author of John Jebb and the Enlightenment Origins of British Radicalism (2003), he is currently writing a book titled Britain and the Seventy Years War, 1745-1815: Enlightenment, Revolution and Empire for Palgrave Macmillan’s British History in Perspective series. Researching various aspects of Unitarian Rational Dissent in eighteenth-century Britain, he is working with Martin Fitzpatrick at producing a published edition of the large correspondence c. 1750-1810 between the English Rational Dissenter Samuel Kenrick and Scottish clergyman James Wodrow housed in the Dr Williams Library, London.
He is also researching the role of Unitarian Rational Dissent in the British campaign to abolish the slave trade.
