Dr Archie Cornish
Archie Cornish has recently completed a postdoctoral project at the University of Sheffield, studying precarity in the work and world of Thomas Nashe. This followed a DPhil (PhD) at Oxford, on landscape and architecture in Renaissance allegory, with a particular focus on Edmund Spenser. As well as Oxford and Sheffield, he has taught at Cambridge. He has published several articles and chapters, as well as non-academic essays. Current research combines Spenser’s Dwelling Places, a monograph forthcoming with Manchester University Press, and a project on ecocritical approaches to the Renaissance georgic.
