Stephen Brumwell (edit name/settings)

Born in Portsmouth, an historic port on England’s South coast, he worked as a newspaper reporter before attending university as a mature student and gaining a Ph.D. in history. His doctoral research formed the basis for a book (Redcoats -see Books ). Although an academic study, it was warmly received on both sides of the Atlantic and was instrumental in encouraging himto switch from teaching at university to concentrating upon writing.

In addition to producing a range of publications, He has also participated in radio and television broadcasts (see Broadcast Contributions). While my research has focused upon the Eighteenth Century, his interests are far wider in scope and his remain keen to present his ideas at conferences (see Conference Presentations), and to engage with specialists and the general public alike.

Now married and with a daughter and a son, he lives in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, working as a freelance writer and independent historian.
