Before moving to Canada to take up a position as Assistant
Professor of Early Modern English Literature, I taught at Durham
University (UK) and Newcastle University (UK) and held a
postdoctoral position as editorial assistant for the Modern
Humanities Research Association. I am primarily interested in Tudor
tragedy and history, and especially how Protestant reform
influenced early modern literature. I am completing a monograph
entitled "Women, Counsel & Tyranny: Representing Gender in
Early Modern England". My new research project, "Lucan and the
Tudors: Shakespeare, Marlowe and Nashe", seeks to provide a
comprehensive study of the significance of Lucan in the literature
of the Tudor era.
