Per the headline, I am preparing to defend my thesis. This is a video version of the presentation I made at the Ohio Valley History Conference last November. John Fowke is an understudied character because historians have missed his role in the military revolution that took place in London during the English Civil War.

Merchant adventures and military revolutions
John Fowke Studies
Everything I produce related to London merchant adventurer and military entrepreneur John Fowke. My scholarship has centered on his role in the outbreak of the English Civil War, the parliamentary victory, and the birth of mass politics. Fowke and his Puritan partners shaped the nascent British gunpowder empire from the 1627 through the Restoration. No standalone volume about John Fowke exists. In fact, as far as I can tell I am the first person to ever write an essay focused on his career.
