About

Professor Grayson Ditchfield is a specialist in the political and religious history of 18th-century Britain. His PhD is from Cambridge University and he is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.
His published work has focused upon the significance of religious issues in Parliament, and in particular those which involved toleration and civil equality for religious minorities, and upon developments within Protestant Dissent, notably the emergence of Unitarianism. It has also taken account of movements for political and ecclesiastical reform; the career of Samuel Johnson; and, more generally, the nature of monarchical and parliamentary authority between c.1750-c.1800, with particular reference to the reign of George III.
