My Work:

​

I work in Medieval and Early Modern English literature, with a focus on royal women's devotional reading and writing. My dissertation, Word and Deed: The Writing and Literary Culture of Medieval and Early Tudor Queens, considers how women like Margaret Beaufort, Cecily Neville, and Katherine Parr publicly informed and confirmed their and their husbands and sons' royal authority to the aristocratic reading community. I have research interests in Old and Middle English popular religious literature, Geoffrey Chaucer, medieval romance, and Shakespearean drama, particularly his histories, and have published on Richard III ("A Necessary Evil: The Inverted Hagiography of William Shakespeare’s Richard III" Renaissance Papers, 2015, 69 – 79).
