About

I am a specialist in Renaissance drama and poetry with a particular interest in religious writing. I have a secondary interest in early twentieth-century Canadian theatre. My book, The Maudlin Impression: English Literary Images of Mary Magdalene, 1550-1700, was published by the University of Notre Dame Press in 2009. I have an on-going interest in the literary afterlives of New Testament saints and I continue to work on the books of Little Gidding; however, I am currently working on two Canadian projects: the first explores what it means to study the early modern past, specifically Shakespeare, from “here” and the second is a book about theatre director Roy Mitchell and the matter of the theatrical archive.
