- Malthus is a 290 page monograph based on seven years of archival and textual research. Research and writing was funded by competitive awards: a Philip Leverhulme Prize and a British Academy/Leverhulme Senior Research Fellowship. Malthus is a major revisionist history of a pivotal demographer and economist, reassessing the environmental aspect of his work and his intellectual legacies. Review attention in academic journals, outlets aimed at the more general scholarly audience and quality newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic has been highly favourable: “magisterial survey” (American Historical Review); “singularly rich portrait” (Times Higher); “compelling read” (BBC History Magazine).
