My first monograph, Metal and Literary Production in Early Modern England: Labour, Value, Violence (Cambridge University Press, under contract), examines how metallurgical metaphors shaped early modern ideas of language, literary value, and violence across prose, poetry, and drama. My second major project, Early War Narratives, explores the ethics of witnessing, truth, and affect in early modern representations of warfare, and their intersections with race, nationhood, and travel.
