I locate my interest for the last several years as “violent male bodies” in 16 th-century prose, Shakespeare, and modern film: several kinds of liminal figures, on the road and at war. My current projects consider the journeys of physician Andrew Boorde, ‘how-to’ books for 17 th-century social climbers, modern films that appropriate the idea of the picaresque, and the decline of the sundial.

Nicholas Hilliard’s Art of Limning, co-edited with Arthur F. Kinney. Boston: Northeastern University Press, 1983. Edition includes my monograph The Art of Nicholas Hilliard.
