Research Interests:

My main research interests are in early modern print culture, particularly cheap print. My initial research into prose murder pamphlets of the period is now developing to encompass prison literature: writing from and about the early modern prison.

Teaching Areas:

16th and 17th century English Literature with particular interests in dissenting writers, gender and spirituality. Also Shakespeare and early modern drama.
I teach on MSt in Women’s Studies where I offer an option in ‘Voicing Early-Modern Female Criminality’.
