I teach across the historical spectrum – from the ancient period to the modern – though my main interests lie in the sixteenth century. I am particularly interested in ancient and medieval literary reception in the post-Reformation period, early modern print culture, women’s writing (particularly Aemilia Lanyer and Hester Pulter), literary communities, scribal practices, and the sixteenth-century Inns of Court. My work has been published in Modern Philology, Comparative Drama and The Journal of Early Modern Studies. I am currently preparing a monograph about early modern dream vision poetry in relation to its medieval English analogues and sources, using contrasting theoretical lenses to explore and affirm the cultural importance, artfulness and utility of this much-misunderstood category of literary expression.
