INTÉRÊTS DE RECHERCHE
My primary areas of research and teaching are early modern English drama and creative writing. While my research focuses mainly on the religious drama of the early sixteenth century, my other research interests include Tudor and Stuart economic discourses, early modern English history plays and historiography, print and manuscript cultures, and early modern treatment of food on the stage. My current projects include a monograph examining the theatrical representation of early modern economic subjectivities, “Persons of Interest: Discourses of Economy in Early Modern English Drama"; an essay on the politics of food metaphors in Shakespeare's Coriolanus; and the co-editing of John Bale and John Leland’s 1549 text, The Laboryouse Journey and Serche of Johan Leylande . In addition to teaching in the English Department, I teach in and am director of the Humanities M.A. in Interpretation and Values.
