Research summary
My research analyses ideas of community, rivalry, and fellowship in Renaissance poetry and drama, and my work has appeared in publications such as Spenser Review and English Literary Renaissance. A recent area of scholarly interest is in depictions of sport and competition in literature, a focus that combines my love of books with my past experiences playing hockey.
