Sarah Fox

Research Fellow, Department of History, University of Birmingham

Research Fellow, Department of History, University of Birmingham I am a social and cultural historian of eighteenth-century Britain specialising in the body, gender, social histories of law and medicine, and inter-personal relationships, and what they can tell us about neighbourhood, society, and nationality. My first book (published April 2022) explored women's experiences of childbirth in the eighteenth-century. My next book looks at the food served in the Georgian royal palaces in the late eighteenth, and early nineteenth centuries - a period when modern ideas of Britishness and British food were being formed.
