Abstract

My research focuses primarily on playwrights from the Restoration (1660-1689) and eighteenth-century. I am particularly interested in women writers, such as Aphra Behn, Margaret Cavendish, and Frances Burney. I have also worked on inheritance in eighteenth-century fiction.I am also interested in key word analysis in relation to seventeenth and eigthteenth-century British literature. My research often focuses on gender and performance. I also write creatively, mainly poetry and children's stories. I have supervised BA and MA creative writing projects (including short story collections and novels). My PhD on women's wit in drama, 1660-1720 is being considered for publication as a book. I am currently researching asides in Restoration drama using key word analysis and editing a new edition of William Wycherley's comedy The Country Wife (1675) with Bloomsbury.
