Research: My book, Birthing the Nation: Sex, Science, and the Conception of Britons (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005) will be released in paperback July 2008. The book has won the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians Best First Book Prize for 2005; Phi Alpha Theta's Best First Book Prize for 2005; the Western Association of Women Historians Best Book of the Year for 2005; it was also been shortlisted by the Royal Historical Society for the Whitfield Prize in British History. For a detailed review: http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showrev.cgi?path=149081197579919 , Birthing the Nation illuminates how debates about gender, sexual identities, midwifery, and reproduction vitally shaped the construction of political, religious, and national identities in Britain during the period 1660 to 1840. By using odd stories about the birth of monsters, "pregnant men," murderous midwives, and satires of sexuality and reproduction, the book demonstrates how gender and sex were not separate from the world of politics and public life, but inelectubly intertwined in sometimes surprising ways. My new projects extend these interests. I am researching and writing on several eighteenth-century stories about gender, love, intimacy, and intrigue that had wider political and cultural import. One project, entitled "The Castrato's Son," explores the relationship of a young Irish Protestant girl and her husband, Ferdinando Tenducci, an Italian castrato and English heart-throb. , ...
