Abstract

Her 2015 monograph, /Dramatic Extracts in Seventeenth-Century English Manuscripts: Watching, Reading, Changing Plays/, explores what early readers and playgoers took, literally and figuratively, from plays. Her research has appeared in, to name a few, Shakespeare Quarterly, Shakespeare, Early Theatre, Huntington Library Quarterly, The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare (ed. Arthur F. Kinney), and Shakespeare and Textual Studies (ed. Sonia Massai and Margaret Jane Kidnie).
