Daniel Gettings

I am currently a PhD candidate in the Department of History at the University of Warwick supervised by Professor Beat Kümin. My PhD is titled "Sustaining body and soul: the early modern English and their water, 1550 - 1750". It focuses on the cultural understandings of water and the relationship that early modern people had with it. Through this it hopes to explore aspects of how early modern people understood themselves, the world around them, and their place in it. My broader research interest include water, drinking history, and religious history, particularly the history of popular beliefs.
