Biography

My research ranges across the late medieval and early modern periods (c. 1350-1700). I am a literary scholar and book historian interested in the relationship between early English books and their readers, a topic investigated in my work on Chaucer's early modern reception and on the emergence of printed epistles to readers in English books.

While at Cambridge I was extensively involved in the Medieval Reading Group at Cambridge and its associated journal, "Marginalia", and served as Chair of the Gates Cambridge Scholars' Council (2013-14).
