• Michael Cyril William Hunter FBA FRHistS (born 1949) is emeritus professor of history in the department of history, classics and archaeology[2] and a fellow[1] of Birkbeck, University of London. Hunter is interested in the culture of early modern England. He specialises in the history of science in seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century England, particularly the work of Robert Boyle.[2] In Noel Malcolm's judgement, Hunter "has done more for Boyle studies than anyone before him (or, one might almost say, than all previous Boyle scholars put together)".[3]
• Hunter read history at Jesus College, University of Cambridge, England from 1968 to 1972. He then attended Worcester College, Oxford, where he received a DPhil.[1]
• After a brief stay at the University of Reading Hunter joined Birkbeck, University of London in 1976.[1]
• Hunter's first monograph focused on the English antiquary and natural philosopher John Aubrey.[4] Since then he has written extensively on the history of science and intellectual thought in England during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, in particular the Royal Society.[5]
• His most substantial scholarly achievement is his edition of Boyle's Works (with Edward Davis, 14 vols, 1999–2000)[6] and Correspondence (with Antonio Clericuzio and Lawrence Principe, 6 vols, 2001).[6]
• From 2006 to 2009 Hunter directed the creation of a digital library focusing on British printed images before 1700.[2]
• He received the 2011 Roy G. Neville Prize from the Chemical Heritage Foundation for his biographical work Boyle: Between God and Science.[7] He also received the 2011 Robert Latham medal from the Samuel Pepys Club.[8][9] In his honour, when he retired in 2013, the Birkbeck Early Modern Society held a conference on "Science, Magic and Religion in the Early Modern Period".[2]
• Hunter has been a wary defender of his turf, with scholars Steven Shapin and Simon Schaffer observing he has been "consistently hostile" to their more recent work on Robert Boyle.[10]
• Hunter is a motorcycle enthusiast who likes two-stroke racing bikes.[2] He lives in Hastings, East Sussex.[1]
