Trosolwyg
I joined Cardiff University in 2017 as a Lecturer in English Literature. Previous to this I have taught at Shakespeare’s Globe (London), Queen’s University Belfast, and the University of Fribourg (Switzerland).
I am an early modernist by training and inclination, with a particular focus on the works of Shakespeare. My first monograph, Shakespeare, Revenge Tragedy, and Early Modern Law: Vindictive Justice (Palgrave, 2016) examined revenge dramatists’ critique of early modern legal systems from a law and literature perspective.
Since then I have begun a new research project entitled “Rogues’ Licence: Counterfeiting Authority in early modern England”, with a focus on the relationship between literature and bureaucracy, discourses of authority, and the practice of forgery. This has been awarded fellowships by the Folger Shakespeare Library (Washington DC), the Huntington (California), and the Newberry (Chicago).
I am happy to supervise PhDs in the following areas: early modern drama; rogue literature; Inns of Court culture; discourses of forgery; early modern bureaucracy; popular print v manuscript culture. Please contact me to discuss topics in these or related areas.

Ymchwil
Roedd fy ymchwil doethurol ym maes Cyfraith a Llenyddiaeth, gyda ffocws penodol ar y genre trasiedi dial. Arweiniodd hyn at gyhoeddi fy monograff cyntaf, Shakespeare, Revenge Tragedy, a Early Modern Law: Vindictive Justice (Palgrave, 2016). Mae llinach gyffredin dras Revenge trasiedi gyda'r gyfraith ar y ddwy ochr – trwy bwnc dial, a thrwy gyfrwng y theatr – yn gwneud y genre yn faes profi delfrydol ar gyfer llwyfannu'r gyfraith yn Lloegr fodern gynnar.
Rwyf wedi ysgrifennu erthyglau ar bynciau gan gynnwys:
- Fforensig y blydi mewn drama fodern gynnar
- Mathemateg dial
- Diffyg ymgysylltiad Hamlet â diwylliant cyfreithiol
- Ymyrraeth olygyddol yn Revenge Antonio Marston's
Yn fy ymchwil diweddaraf, rwy'n anelu at ddull mwy rhyngddisgyblaethol o ymchwil. Cefais fy nenu at bwnc ffugio a biwrocratiaeth trwy'r pamffledi 'cony-dal' fel y'u gelwir, ac arweiniodd hyn i mi archwilio amlygrwydd biwrocratiaeth wrth ffurfio llenyddiaeth fodern gynnar. Fy nod yw dangos bod Shakespeare a'i gyfoeswyr yn gwbl ymwybodol ac yn boenus o bryd i'w gilydd o bwysigrwydd y drwydded a'r dogfennau cysylltiedig, a oedd wedyn yn cael ei ffordd i mewn i'r broses gyfansoddi ei hun. Mae hyn yn dwyn ynghyd is-feysydd cysylltiedig megis y gyfraith a llenyddiaeth, astudiaethau llawysgrifau, hanes theatr a beirniadaeth lenyddol mewn ffurfweddau newydd a chynhyrchiol. Mae fy ngwaith parhaus yn y maes hwn yn cynnwys darnau ar:
- Ffugiadau Shakespeare cyntaf
- Gwaith papur carchar ar y cyfnod modern cynnar
- Forgery ac awdurdod yn y pamffledi dal cony
- Iarll Essex a Twelfth Night Shakespeare
- Hands, Seals, and Documentary Authority in Sir Thomas More & Henry VIII
Bydd y gwaith hwn yn arwain at fonograff ar Drwydded Shakespeare: The Power of Paperwork mewn Llenyddiaeth a Diwylliant Modern Cynnar.
Rwyf hefyd wedi ysgrifennu postiadau blog archwiliadol ar fy ymchwil ddiweddaraf, gan gynnwys:
- '"Mae'r Ddyfais hon wedi'i Thrwyddedu": The Material and Immaterial Bureaucracy of Research', ar gyfer cyfres 'The Materiality of Research', LSE Review of Books
- 'Arwyddwch Yma Plîs: ___ Ffurflenni Gwag o Gasgliad Folger', ar gyfer blog ymchwil y Colation, Llyfrgell Folger Shakespeare
- 'The Man with the Golden Pen', ar gyfer blog prosiect Cyn Shakespeare

Bywgraffiad
I completed my studies at Trinity College Dublin, plus a year at St. John’s College Cambridge for the MPhil in Renaissance Literature.
