Barnard is a specialist in the political, social and cultural histories of Ireland and England, c. 1600-1800.[2] His A New Anatomy of Ireland (2003) was notable for the depth of primary research that Barnard carried out to complete it. One reviewer commented that "This task of discovery and accumulation by itself is an heroic achievement."[3] Barnard is a fellow of the British Academy and the Royal Historical Society. He did his undergraduate studies at The Queen's College, Oxford, and was supervised for his DPhil by Hugh Trevor-Roper.
