Benjamin Marschke
In 2025 I will be Vertretungsprofessor (Visiting Professor) at the University of Trier (Germany), and I will return to HSU for the Spring 2026 semester.
My research field is early modern Europe, and my first book was on the Prussian army chaplaincy. I have since published many articles and co-edited several books on various aspects of early modern European history.
My current book project is about political ceremony, gender/sexuality, luxury/ money/ work ethic, and intellectual/academic culture in the early eighteenth century, focusing on King Frederick William I of Prussia (1713-1740).
My next project is about the reading, reception, and retelling of news by a village pastor during the early Enlightenment.
