Kent-Related Research Interests
I am interested in the interplay between literature, popular culture and religio-political conflict in the seventeenth century. My current research focuses on Aphra Behn, the playwright, poet, novelist and first female professional writer in English who was born in 1640 in Harbledown, Canterbury.
