Please forgive the obligatory, cheesy ‘author holding their book’ photo. After working on this research for so long, it feels wonderful to see and hold it as something real and tangible.

Absolutely delighted my book is published and available now! Huge thanks to the whole team at Palgrave for making this a reality. The book offers a brand new interpretation of the biggest and potentially most dangerous popular protest in Britain during the Age of Revolutions.

The piece argues that viewing these mutinies as practical processes of negotiation allows us to reconcile their supposed contradictions and appreciate their complexity. Hopefully, the essay will be published in the journal Historical Research in the coming year.

This one examines the impact of cycles of war and peace on the changing features and composition of the population of veteran naval sailors who lived at Greenwich Hospital: the Greenwich pensioners.

Skilled sailors were crucial for British security and prosperity, and the wealth of information available about the Greenwich pensioners offers an unusually detailed insight into a subset of that crucial seagoing workforce.

It was a great pleasure to contribute a chapter on the Greenwich pensioners to this exciting new book. Congratulations to my fellow contributors and a big thank you to @AndrewBamford10 and @kaizer_nick for guiding us through the process!
