David Robinson, Editor-in-Chief

David Robinson is the Editor-in-Chief and a founder-member of the Midlands Historical Review.

After a long stint in the business world, David began a much more interesting career in the academic sphere and was recently awarded his PhD in history by the University of Nottingham.

David’s research interests include eighteenth and nineteenth-century British travel writing, particularly on India and Italy, and British cultural history during the same period. He has published several peer reviewed articles and recently edited a collection of historical and contemporary travel writing, due for publication by Anthem in Spring 2021.

When not writing and editing the MHR, David can often be found hiking and climbing in Scotland, and chasing his errant spaniel across the Vale of Belvoir.
