Research Expertise
My research focuses on two main areas: literature of early modern England and Global Shakespeare. I am broadly interested in how interactions with other countries, cultures, and languages influenced early modern England"s literary culture and my research has looked more specifically at how English writing from this period represents linguistic difference. Several of my publications examine the significance of multilingual elements in Elizabethan and Jacobean drama. This multilingual theme is also central to my other research area, Global Shakespeare because I am especially interested in stage and film adaptations of the plays in languages other than English and in translation itself as a form of adaptation. I was part of the ERC-funded project `Crossing Borders with Shakespeare since 1945: East European Roots and Routes". I have been serving as an Associate Editor of the Palgrave Encyclopaedia of Global Shakespeare since 2018. I recently collaborated with Dr James Wood from University of East Anglia on an edition of the collected writings of the Reverend Jermym Pratt (1723-1791), a Norfolk clergyman, most of whose work has previously been available only in manuscript. The project included a Zoom premier of Pratt"s comedy The Grange.
