Currently, I am engaged in a rigorous study focused on Classical reception in the English Renaissance. I use adaptation theory as a lens to see how Renaissance authors reworked and reimagined ancient Greek and Roman works. The areas of research that inspire me include the following: Renaissance literature and culture, Shakespeare, Classical reception, intertextuality, and adaptation theory.
