J.W. Burrow: A personal history

The late John Burrow, one of the most stimulating promoters of the distinctively interdisciplinary
enterprise that is Intellectual History, was a vital member of what has become known as the ‘Sussex

places his unique historical sensibility within a series of interpretative contexts, demonstrating the
vitality of writings that will continue to inspire and inform scholarship in the field for decades to come.
