Profile

Prior to joining the School of English in December 2023, I worked for two years at Cambridge University Press in STEM publishing and before that held research and teaching positions in Oxford, Cork, London, and (most recently) at the University of East Anglia. I’ve published extensively in medieval and early modern literature and history, my works including Thomas Churchyard: Pen, Sword, and Ego (OUP, 2016), Early Modern Military Identities, 1560-1639 (Boydell, 2019), and a special issue of History journal on early modern espionage that appeared in 2023.
