The Royal Studies Podcast

Later Stuart Queens, 1660–1735: Religion, Political Culture, and Patronage (edited by Eilish Gregory and Michael Questier) is part of Palgrave Macmillan’s Queenship and Power series and seeks to re-insert queens into the mainstream of Stuart and early Georgian studies. It will be published in December 2023.

Today we are speaking with Dr. Eilish Gregory about the release of this volume. Eilish is the Little Company of Mary Fellow in the History of Catholicism at the Centre for Catholic Studies at Durham University. Her research mainly focuses on early modern religion, politics, and culture, particularly on Catholicism in early modern Britain. Her monograph Catholics during the English Revolution, 1642-1660 (Boydell) was published in 2021 and she has written articles and book chapters on Queen Catherine of Braganza.
