Areas of interest

 My primary research interest is early modern literature and culture, including print and manuscript culture, literary networks, poetic forms, and women’s writing.

Teaching

Within the department I convene  EN3TBS: The Bloody Stage: Revenge and Death in Renaissance Drama. 

I also contribute to the following modules:

EN2EM: Early Modern Texts and Cultures

EN1IDR: Introduction to Drama

Research centres and groups

Early Modern Research Centre

Research projects

Digital humanities are an ongoing area of research interest for me. I co-edited, with Alice Eardley, a searchable digital edition of selected verse miscellanies printed in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, Verse Miscellanies Online, and contributed to Early Modern Women’s Complaint Index, along with Sarah Ross, Rosalind Smith, Jake Arthur, and Mitchell Whitelaw.

 

I am general editor, along with Professor Andrew Hadfield, of the Palgrave Macmillan book series, ‘Early Modern Literature in History’.

I have supervised dissertations on a range of early modern topics, and welcome enquiries from those interested in pursuing early modern studies at postgraduate level.
