Mr. Imre has written extensively on medieval, early modern, and modern European history. While his academic focus is primarily Renaissance studies and the religious history of 15th century Italy, Mr. Imre has published widely on 20th century Hungarian historiography, and the issue of Hungarian minorities in the Carpathian Basin. His graduate dissertation on Girolamo Savonarola linked the controversial figure to humanistic elements in Renaissance society and challenged existing scholarship. In his capacity as a historian, Mr. Imre regularly contributes to a number of newspapers and online blogs as a columnist.
