Later Stuart Queens, 1660–1735: Religion, Political Culture, and Patronage (edited by Eilish Gregory and Michael Questier) is part of Palgrave Macmillan’s Queenship and Power series and seeks to re-insert queens into the mainstream of Stuart and early Georgian studies. It will be published in December 2023. Today we are speaking with Dr. Eilish Gregory about the release of this volume. Eilish is the Little Company of Mary Fellow in the History of Catholicism at the Centre for Catholic Studies at Durham University. Her research mainly focuses on early modern religion, politics, and culture, particularly on Catholicism in early modern Britain. Her monograph Catholics during the English Revolution, 1642-1660 (Boydell) was published in 2021 and she has written articles and book chapters on Queen Catherine of Braganza. Make sure you check out Eilish’s article in Parliamentary History on Catherine of Braganza and the Popish Plot: Gregory, Eilish. ‘Catherine of Braganza during the Popish Plot and Exclusion Crisis: Anti‐Catholicism in the Houses of Commons and Lords, 1678–81.’ Parliamentary History 42, no. 2 (2023): 195-212.
