‘These Poor Fruits of My Pen’ will be presented by Dr Sarah Hall, a historian of the early modern transatlantic world, with a particular focus on puritanism in England and New England. Sarah’s research interests lie in community, correspondence and social networks in the seventeenth century. She is particularly fascinated by the histories of ‘ordinary’ people and their lived experiences. Sarah is further interested in pursuing digital humanities methods, and exploring what new light can be shed on historical questions by combining qualitative and quantitative research methods. She is currently based at the University of York, working on the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship project.
