Edward Peters is the Henry Charles Lea Professor of History, he specializes in the early history of Europe, from the second to the seventeenth centuries. His chief interests are political and constitutional history, including church history, intellectual and legal history, and historiography. His current research deals with various aspects of crime and punishment, on the one hand, and with the idea of curiosity and the limits of intellectual inquiry, on the other. And a great deal else in between.
