My research is concerned with the intellectual history of the Enlightenment. I have published articles on Bernard Mandeville, David Hume, and eighteenth-century labour theory, and am the editor of Politics and Tea, part of the Pickering and Chatto collection, Tea and the Tea-Table in Eighteenth-Century England.
