Nice to see my review of John Rees’ Fiery Spirits in this month’s Literary Review. A work that demonstrates how popular politics made the English Revolution.

Does anyone have a link or suggestions for good guidance on managing footnoting in long word-docs? One of my PhD students is finding it difficult to get their notes in order. Any suggestions gratefully received.
