Teaching and Supervision

Teaching:

Early modern literature, most particularly the development of dramatic writing, sixteenth-century lyric poetry and women's writing. In addition, I have research interests in Medieval drama and Canadian literature. I am interested in supervising postgraduate projects linked to any areas of the above, especially where connected to questions surrounding the cultural/textual representations of: memory, violence, travel and changing concepts of Europe.

Research Interests

Research profile:

My research profile has always been interdisciplinary in nature, focusing most particularly upon developments in English and French early modern literature. Whilst I have published widely across genres and authors from the late fifteenth century to the late seventeenth century, the centre of gravity for my research has remained the dramatic literature of the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods, of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. My doctoral research was a comparative literary project exploring political representation in the drama of Shakespeare and Racine and was published as a monograph, Authority and Desire. Crises of Interpretation in Shakespeare and Racine (1996). My monograph The Uses of this World: Thinking Space in Shakespeare, Marlowe, Cary and Jonson paid particular attention to competing cultural constructions of space in a variety of dramatic texts from the English Renaissance. I edited the double issue of the MHRA's 2008 Yearbook of English Studies devoted to Tudor literature and completed an extensive account of the early modern period for Cambridge University Press's English Literature in Context, edited by Paul Poplawski. I am co-editor with Lisa Hopkins of the Arden Early Modern Drama Guides series, and was co-editor with Helen Wilcox of the English Association's academic journal English, published by Oxford University Press from 2008 to 2011. I am now the Editor (English & American Literature) for the academic journal MLR and series editor for the Yearbook of English Studies.

My monograph Reading Memory in Early Modern Literature focuses upon the development of cultural debate surrounding the status and function of memory in the period 1520-1620. The project includes studies of such diverse writers as Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, Katherine Parr, John Foxe, Edmund Spenser, Thomas Nashe, Mary Sidney, William Shakespeare, Francis Bacon, Ben Jonson and John Donne.

My most recent monograph, Shakespeare, Violence and Early Modern Europe (Cambridge University Press, 2022), is designed to broaden understanding of the final years of the last Tudor monarch, revealing the truly international context in which they must be understood. Uncovering the extent to which Shakespeare's dramatic art intersected with European politics, this project brings together close readings of the history plays, insights into late Elizabethan political culture and renewed attention to neglected continental accounts of Elizabeth I. The project as a whole charts the profound influence that Shakespeare and ambitious courtiers had upon succeeding generations of European writers, dramatists and audiences following the turn of the sixteenth century. Informed by early modern and contemporary cultural debate, this study demonstrates how the study of early modern violence can illuminate ongoing crises of interpretation concerning brutality, victimization and complicity in contemporary society.

  • Cutting-Edge Art : Aggressive Consumption and the Consumption of Aggression 

    Ranging from antiquity to the twenty-first century, this presentation offered insights across a host of different areas of enquiry (e.g. social theory, literature, the visual arts, philosophy) to reflect upon the different ways artists, sculptors, writers, thinkers down the ages have expressed their understanding of the world around them and stimulated audience appetites. In particular, the focus was upon the pressure of violence in the appreciation of art, literature and our everyday lives. He explores the ways in which aggression has been reviewed and reformulated by successive generations of theorists since the Second World War and how such considerations may shape the ways in which we engage with the creative industries and, indeed, the world outside our front door
