Biography

My research and teaching focus on sixteenth and seventeenth century English literature, including early modern drama (especially Shakespeare), history of the book, rhetoric and language, and digital research methods.

I have published two books: How the World Became a Book in Shakespeares England (2025) and Shakespeare in the Marketplace of Words (2017, paperback 2022). I am currently completing a critical edition of Shakespeare's Love Labour's Lost for Cambridge University Press. Want to know more about my research and teaching?
