Colin Jones: Fox and hedgehog historian of France
Colin Jones is one of the most prolific and wide-ranging historians of France today.

His work spans the early modern and modern periods, and the themes he has treated run the gamut fro…

This paper examines how and why information moved or failed to move within transatlantic botanical networks in the late eighteenth century. It addresses the problem of how practitioners created relationships of trust, and the difficulties they faced in transferring reputations between national contexts. Eighteenth-century botany was characteristically cross-cultural, cosmopolitan and socially diverse, yet in the 1770s and 1780s the American Revol…
