Description of Research
Summary Statement of Research Interests
Professor Rebecca Lemon works on Renaissance literature, with a particular interest in theatre, law, and political philosophy. Her first book, Treason by Words: Literature, Law, and Rebellion in Early Modern England , appeared in hardcover with Cornell University Press in June 2006, and in paperback in December 2007. She is also interested in critical theory and gender studies, with articles on Shakespeare and Agamben, and Mary Wroth and sexual politics of the lyric. Currently she is working on two projects: an edition of essays on literature and the bible; and a study of addiction in early-modern literature.
