Johann Gregory
My research expertise lies in the Renaissance, specifically early modern English literature, drama and cultural history, as well as critical theory. My next research project will explore the concept of fragility in early modern literature and contemporary theory. I also have a continuing interest in the publicity of John Taylor the Water Poet (1578-1653). At present I am working on a book project based on my PhD research dealing with Shakespeare, audience expectation and taste.
