I am now Thole Research Fellow in English at Trinity Hall, Cambridge. My current homepages are here and here, and my Academia.edu profile here.

I was awarded my PhD from the Department of English and Comparative Literary Studies in July 2015. My thesis, entitled "Allegory and Modernity in English Literature, c. 1575-1675" and supervised by Catherine Bates and Paul Botley, explored the role of allegory in late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century English literature and intellectual culture, especially its complex and contested relation to the notion of the period's (early) modernity. My studies were funded by a Chancellor's International Scholarship from the University of Warwick.

I have published and presented on my primary research topics - allegory, poetics, Milton, Shakespeare - in addition to which I also take an interest in medieval literature and its postmedieval reception. My article "The Satanic 'or': Milton and Protestant Anti-Allegorism" has been awarded the 2014 Review of English Studies Essay Prize.

In November 2013, I organized Allegory Studies?, an international conference on the interdisciplinary study of allegory that took place at the University of Warwick, gathering delegates from a number of universities in the UK, as well as Israel, Switzerland and the US. I am currently co-organizing, with Karen Lang and Peter Mack, Rethinking Allegory, a colloquium taking place at the Warburg Institute on 30 October 2015, and editing a volume based around a core of papers presented at these events, with further invited contributions.

Below is a list of selected publications and presentations. I also have a profile on Academia.edu.
