- 'Knights Errant of the Distressed: Horace Walpole, Thomas Chatterton, and Eighteenth-Century Charitable Culture' is an 11,000-word article that analyses material from across eight decades and conducts sustained analysis of five sets of correspondence, five poems and one novel supported by rigorous contextual research. Development of this study depended on extensive archival work in the Lewis Walpole Library, the British Library and the library of the Society of Antiquaries. The study's discussion and conclusions draw on the fields of literary studies, philanthropy studies, material history and social history to build up a detailed survey of charitable behaviour across eighteenth-century England.
