About Freddy Dominguez

Freddy Dominguez (PhD, Princeton, 2011) is a historian of early modern politics and religion, although I have also published on modern topics. He is particularly interested in how people develop or are part of public spheres by means of various performances and forms of printed communication. He has written three books: Radicals in Exile: English Catholic Books during the Reign of Philip II (Penn State Press, 2020), Bob Dylan in the Attic: The Artist as Historian (UMass Press, 2022), and Luisa de Carvajal y Mendoza: The Politics of an Anglo-Spanish Life. With William Bulman, he also edited Political and Religious Practice in the Early Modern British World (Manchester University Press, 2022) Freddy is currently writing a book meant for a more general audience on a "false saint" in sixteenth century Lisbon. In 2023 he started an interview series in connection with the Medieval and Renaissance Studies Program at his home institution, the University of Arkansas- Fayetteville
