- Double-weighted statement
- This major monograph (pp. xviii + 308; 164,000 words) was researched and written over 11 years, including use of archives and special collections from the UK, France, and USA. It is interdisciplinary in scope, engaging with - for example - the history of science, literary scholarship, political history, the development of religious thought, and material cultural studies, in a timeframe covering five decades. Each of the nine chapters is more than the equivalent of a journal article in terms of the research and word length, with all but one chapter being over 14,000 words.
