![]() I have held visiting positions at Caltech, Queen Mary (University of London) and Keio University (Tokyo), and fellowships at the Folger, Huntington, New York Public Library, National Maritime Museum and Bard Graduate Center. I am on secondment from the University of York, where I was Director of the Centre for Renaissance & Early Modern Studies (CREMS) from its creation in 2005 to 2011. My exhibition, Decoding the Renaissance: 500 Years of Codes and Ciphers, runs at the Folger Shakespeare Library from November 2014 to March 2015. ![]() I am working on a study of visual marginalia called The Reader's Eye, a collection of essays on Renaissance Collage (edited with Juliet Fleming and Adam Smyth), a reconstruction of the art- and book-collections of Walter and Louise Arensberg (with Mark Nelson) and an edition of Christopher Marlowe's The Jew of Malta (edited with Chloe Preedy for Arden Early Modern Drama). I have published widely on the history of books and readers and the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries and much of my current work explores the interface between word and image and the relationship between knowledge and power. Research InterestsMy research is driven by a love of archives and other collections, and an interest in how objects from the past come down to us, what they pick up along the way and how they speak across time and space. ![]() ![]() Terracotta bust of William Shakespeare, by John Michael Rysbrack, England, ca. ![]()
