- Having been involved with the British Academy John Foxe Project as a consultant for the Latin material in the new electronic edition of the Acts and Monuments being prepared by the Project based in the Humanities Research Institute at Sheffield, I am intending to publish an edition of John Foxe’s Latin correspondence, with a commentary based on my PhD thesis.
- Completed my PhD thesis on ‘John Foxe’s Latin Writings: their intellectual and social context, with special reference to the period of his exile, 1554-1559’
