Current projects:

Thanks to a generous BRIEF (Brunel Research Initiative and Enterprise Fund) award, I'm now working on my second book, Shakespeare's Neighbours.

I'm also working on three projects examining Chaucerian resonances in early modern drama, male servants in the early modern home, and Shakespeare-related objects in the Royal Collection, respectively.
