Helen J. Nicholson, "Women and the Crusades" (Oxford UP, 2023)

Helen J. Nicholson, "Women and the Crusades" (Oxford UP, 2023)

Sam Fullerton, "Sexual Politics in Revolutionary England" (Manchester UP, 2026)
Q: Can you explain how explicit sex writing plays an essential role in the formation of political identities?
Fullerton explains that during the pre-Civil War period, two political factions emerged, and their identities were formed through sexual stereotypes, with Cavaliers depicted as promiscuous and Roundheads as hypocritical, thus intertwining sexual discourse with political identities.
Sam Fullerton, "Sexual Politics in Revolutionary England" (Manchester UP, 2026)
Q: How did you come to this topic?
Fullerton shares that he transitioned from genocide studies in his undergraduate years to early modern British studies after a study abroad trip to London inspired him. A pivotal moment came when his advisor introduced him to a book about the sexual revolution that shaped his research focus.
