Richard Coulton is involved in teaching and research within the Department of English. Under the supervision of Markman Ellis he completed a PhD on horticultural networks and discourse in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England, and regularly presents seminar and conference papers on this and related topics. He has recently written (for the Journal of Eighteenth-Century Studies) an article about an early-modern satire on the Royal Society’s Philosophical Transactions, and has edited (for Pickering and Chatto) a volume of natural-historical and medicinal texts about tea from the period 1660-1830. Current research projects include a journal article on commercial nurserymen in eighteenth-century London; another on John Philips's georgic poem Cyder (1708); and further work on the cultural history of Britain's involvement in the China tea-trade during the long eighteenth century.
