- Richardson and the Philosophes is a longer-form output of c. 80,000 words, the research for which was completed over a period of four years. As the first study to compare the response of the most famous philosophes – Voltaire, Rousseau, and Diderot – to the work of Samuel Richardson (1689-1761), it required extensive comparative research across both French and English literature and philosophy of the eighteenth century. In particular, it entailed extended periods of research in libraries in London (National Library), Oxford (Taylor Institute), and Paris (Bibliothèque Nationale).
