I am currently involved in preparing a new edition of Bernardin de Saint-Pierre's Oeuvres completes, working with Simon Davies (QUB) on the Harmonies de la nature. I am also in the early stages of a new project exploring eighteenth-century French interest in the industrial landscape.
My PhD thesis on the ·¡²Ô³¦²â³¦±ô´Ç±èé»å¾±±ð looked at the place and function of mineralogy in the ·¡²Ô³¦²â³¦±ô´Ç±èé»å¾±±ð and especially at the role of the baron d'Holbach, principal ·¡²Ô³¦²â³¦±ô´Ç±èé»å¾±±ð contributor on mineralogy (as well as author of radical articles on religion), key materialist philosophe and translator and disseminator of much German and Swedish knowledge of mineralogy. From 2006-14 I was involved in editing the first complete edition of the correspondence of Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (published online through Electronic Enlightenment).
