Research Interests: My research focuses primarily on the political culture of early modern England, in particular the histories of media, popular politics and the image of the early Stuart court. I am currently at work on a series of projects, including an essay on the “many bodies” of King James VI and I; a textbook for Oxford UP on the history of the Britannic Isles to 1715; and a socio-cultural history of a late Stuart hanging ballad and its English and American afterlives.
