She received her Ph.D. in English and American literature and language at Harvard University. She has published articles about sixteenth-century editing practices and about “bookish” metaphors in early modern literature. Her current projects include tracking how Shakespeare, Marlowe, and their contemporaries imagined the classical Sibyls in relation to material text technologies, and studying the early English reception of Don Quixote, that epic of reading.
