Current work
I am interested in early modern literature, considered from a range of theoretical standpoints, with a particular emphasis on historicism and digital humanities. Areas of specialism include early modern drama, especially satirical comedy, the 1590s and the Sidney circle, and 'acoustic approaches' to early modern literature.
Current projects include a single-author monograph on the writer Gervase Markham. I am co-editor of the peer-reviewed e-journal Early Modern Literary Studies, and on the editorial board of the Lost Plays Database.
