Faculty Member, English
About
I received my PhD from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I specialize in early modern literature and culture, particularly Shakespeare and Elizabeth I. One of my current projects is A Biographical Encyclopedia of Early Modern Englishwomen, 1500-1650: Exemplary Lives and Memorable Acts, to be published by Ashgate, co-edited with Carole Levin and Michele Osherow. If you'd like to contribute, please send me an email.
I'm also a Co-Director, with Dr. Craig Bertolet, of Auburn University Summer in London Program.
