Personal profile
Research
My research focuses on the relationship between literature, culture and emotion. I am interested in the ways in which literature shapes and contributes to cultures of emotion and in the historical development of this relationship.
I work primarily on early literary periods, especially the early modern period, including Shakespeare and early modern drama, but I am also interested in the later reception of these texts and in their role today.
My book Shakespeare’s Compassion: Emotion and the Classics on the Early Modern Stage is forthcoming with The Arden Shakespeare (Bloomsbury) and I am currently completing a book on teaching Shakespeare and the history of emotion for the Cambridge Elements series ‘Shakespeare and Pedagogy’.
I am a member of the Center for Early Modern Studies (CEMS) and I participate in the cross-disciplinary project ‘Anatomical Theater: Early Modern Dissection as Investigative Art’, which brings together researchers from the arts and humanities and medicine.
