I work at Hertford College as Fellow and Tutor in English, and at the University of Oxford as a lecturer in the Faculty of English Language and Literature. I’m delighted that this summer I will direct the Bread Loaf School of English Oxford programme.


My research and teaching interests are in early modern drama and Shakespeare. Current projects include work on the Shakespeare First Folio and on the emerging conventions of early modern print drama.
