He has been described by Tim Harris as 'the finest social historian of crowd action and popular politics in early modern England'.

He has contributed to radio and television documentaries, and articles of his have inspired both an award-winning beer and a recent film (Robinson in Ruins, Patrick Keiller,2010).
