Supervisor: Noel Sugimura

Research Interests: Early modern poetry; Restoration poetry and drama; ecocriticism; genre theory; John Milton

Doctoral Research: My doctoral research explores the way in which landscapes and genre intersect in the poetry of John Milton. Through an ecocritical lens I will consider the historical fluctuations in comprehension of what is 'natural', shedding light on how to approach ecotheory in the early modern period.
