I have just signed a contract with Exeter University Press to co-author a new book with Robin C. Douglas, entitled Paganism Persisting: A History of European Paganisms since Antiquity.

Paganism Persisting is a history of the idea of ‘paganism’ after antiquity, and its revival, interpretation, reimagining and reanimation at various points in history – from Christian Rome to the Byzantine Empire, from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment and the Victorian Romantic Movement. Chapters will deal with the end of the Classical world, responses to paganism in the medieval west, the revival of pagan ideas in Byzantium and the European Renaissance, and later ‘pagan revivals’ from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries.
