Books:
Strange Communion: Motherland and Masculinity in Tudor Plays, Pamphlets, and Politics
(University of Delaware Press, 2003)
A Companion to Chaucer and His Contemporaries, with Laurel Amtower (Broadview, 2009) (4 chapters; 91pp. or circa 32000 words of original prose; 138 pp. or circa 45000 words of edited and translated primary documents, with introductory paragraphs. Many primary documents are not readily accessible elsewhere and were translated or edited for this volume. For example, the chapter on medieval science has 40 pp. of primary sources, roughly 70 % of which are in my translation or represent my editorial work).
Work in Progress:
Age in Love: Shakespeare at the Court of Elizabeth I, a new account of Elizabeth I’s influence on Shakespeare that focuses on the figure of the old man in love, which recurs in his plays and poems (e.g., Bottom, Armado, Malvolio, Claudius, Antony, Falstaff). A section of the first chapter appeared in Explorations in Renaissance Culture. A version of the second chapter won the Agnes Strickland Award from the Elizabeth I Society (2010) and the Competition for Papers in Open Submission from the Shakespeare Association of America (2011), and appeared in ELR (2013).
The manuscript is currently at 101,340 words; I have polished drafts of the introduction and the first three chapters and am well into a rough draft of the last chapter. I expect the final word count to be about 110,000. The manuscript should be ready for submission in June 2017.
