| Current Research |
Romancing the Globe: Romance, English Expansion, and the Early Modern Stage
is a book-length project that introduces an earlier history for
dramatic romance than has been recognized--one that emerged from the
social, intellectual, and economic changes prompted by England's
increasing role in an expanding global economy. Other current projects include essays on Q Henry V and the early modern book trade, the globalization of Arthurian legend in one seventeenth-century play, Ben Jonson's influence on Thomas Morton's New English Canaan, and a shipboard performance of Hamlet in the early seventeenth century. |
