Current work
My principal research interests are in Renaissance drama, especially Marlowe, Shakespeare and Ford. I am also interested in editing, on which I teach a module on the MA Shakespeare and Renaissance, and in the influence of Darwin on fiction, adaptation, and the work of Bram Stoker.
At the moment I am completing a book on The Renaissance on the Edge. I am a trustee of the Association of Adaptation Studies, a co-editor of Shakespeare, the journal of the British Shakespeare Association, and co-editor of the Continuum Renaissance Drama Series.
I am on the editorial boards of Early Modern Literary Studies, Marlowe Studies and The Journal of Drama Studies. I am head of the faculty graduate school and a member of the executive committee of the UK Council for Graduate Education.
