Carl Estabrook, a native New Englander, is the British historian here at
Dartmouth. Professor Estabrook's courses cover the history of Britain from the
late 15th century up to the 1990s. Most applicants to the Department's London
FSP should get to know him. His early research took him to the pastoral West
Country of England where the great maritime city of Bristol flourished in the
17th and 18th centuries. The impact of a celebrated urban revival on the social
and cultural lives of villagers in this period is the subject of Professor
Estabrook's first book. He moved on from there to York, Winchester, Canterbury,
and several other English cathedral cities to explore the ambivalent
relationship between Anglican cathedrals and the civic communities surrounding
them during the turbulent 17th century. He has an on-going interest in the
evolution of English parochialism and xenophobia during the period of Atlantic
exploration. His current research project investigates the effects of financial
scandals on public discourse in England during the late 17th and early 18th
centuries.
