Jonathan Philip Parry (born 1957), commonly referred to as Jon Parry, is professor of Modern British History at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Pembroke College. He has specialised in 19th and 20th century British political and cultural history and has developed a later interest in the relationship between Britain and the Ottoman Empire.[1]
Parry was born in 1957.[2] He was educated at Dover Grammar School for Boys before matriculating at Peterhouse, Cambridge, in 1975, subsequently becoming 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 Isaac 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]
The scholarly literature on British historiography includes Parry as a leader of the Cambridge school of modern politics, as shown by Alex Middleton in 2021.[9]
