Jonathan Parry

Jonathan Philip Parry, commonly referred to as Jon Parry, (born 1957) is Professor of Modern British History at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Pembroke College. He has specialised in 19th and 20th century British political and cultural history and developed a later interest in the relationship between Britain and the Ottoman Empire.[1]

Parry was born in 1957.[2] He matriculated at Peterhouse, Cambridge in 1975 and subsequently became a Fellow of that college[3] before moving to Pembroke College in 1992.[4] In 2009 he was appointed as a professor in the university's history faculty.[5]

Parry was for some time the Director of the Issac Newton Trust, a post that he relinquished in 2015 when he took academic leave.[6] He was President of Pembroke College in 2018-2019.[1]

A revised version of Parry's PhD thesis, which had been supervised by Derek Beales, was published in 1986 as Democracy and Religion: Gladstone and the Liberal Party 1867-1875.[3] A review of this noted that Parry was from a similar school of thought as Maurice Cowling,[7] another Petrean don of whom he later wrote various posthumous accounts.[8]
