About the blog and its author

My name is Sharon Howard, and I'm currently based at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, as the holder of a British Academy Post-doctoral Fellowship (see a bit more biography and information about Early Modern Resources). I've been running Early Modern Resources in one form or another since about 2000 (it acquired its own domain in 2002), but the blog Early Modern Notes is a new venture as of June 2004.

My main research interests, apart from focusing on the early modern period (c.1500-1800), are: crime and legal history; women and gender; Welsh and British history. I'm also interested in the relations and tensions between academic and 'popular' history, and issues to do with the teaching of history. My other interests include: films, especially noir, Hollywood comedies of the 30s, historical films, horror, the Coen brothers; reading, especially crime novels and historical fiction (and meetings of the two!), eighteenth-century novels (Defoe, Fielding, etc), some sci-fi; music: ska, punk, blues, funk, Ani di Franco; cooking, organic food and the fair trade movement; horses (some teenage things you never quite get over); learning Welsh, badly; shouting at the TV (it's what happens when you live on your own); wishing I had a cat.
