I am currently studying for a Masters in early modern literature at King's College London, having graduated from Warwick in July at the end of my project. I am particularly interested in early modern theatre and revenge tragedies, as well as female manuscripts. I also enjoy the opportunities to bring interdisciplinary approaches into early modern study, so gaining experience researching and compiling bibliographies will be very valuable!

Over the course of my URSS project, I will be assisting my supervisor Dr Teresa Grant with her upcoming publication on Animals in Performance by producing bibliographies for the various plays and texts referenced in her book. I am also acting as an organiser for the 'Representing Sovereignty' IAS symposium being held at Warwick and for the Sidelights on Shakespeare lecture series, behing held at Stratford. After the symposium, I will also be assisting Dr Grant on the resulting book as an Editorial Assistant, using the skills I will have learned through my work on 'Animals in Performance'.
