He specializes in Renaissance literature, with special interests in adaptation studies, the history of nationalism, and memory studies. His first book, Of Memory and Literary Form: The Making of Nationhood in Early Modern England (University of Delaware Press, 2015), examined the ways literary devices craft collective memory and national identity alike. Along with Professor John Garrison, he co-edited the collected volume Memory and Sexuality in Early Modern England: Literature and the Erotics of Recollection (Routledge, 2015). His writing has been featured in the journals Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism, Modern Philology and Upstart: A Journal of English Renaissance Studies. Currently, he is working with John Garrison on Shakespeare at Peace, a book examining Shakespeare’s relationships to peacebuilding movements of both the Renaissance and the 21st century.
