Emily Elizabeth Robson

I am a PhD candidate at Churchill College, Cambridge. I received my BA and Masters qualifications from the University of Birmingham, were I was awarded the Edna Pearson Scholarship to undertake postgraduate research into political prophecy in sixteenth and seventeenth century England. My doctoral thesis builds upon this research and asks how prophecy was conceptualised, practiced, and contested among English Protestants, focussing especially upon attitudes towards masculinity in a spiritual/prophetic context.
