David Cressy's work focuses on the social, cultural, and religious history of early modern England (roughly the 1500s-1600s), covering topics like literacy, religious practices, maritime and naval affairs, kinship, and social order. Despite the listed 'broad research area' of Economics and Finance, the actual publication record shows this is historical scholarship on English society, not quantitative economics. Prospective students interested in early modern British social/cultural history, print culture, or maritime history would find relevant material here.
