My dissertation explores the link between Tudor-era epic romance and the ‘new science’ of human anatomy in early modern England. The spectacular bodily violence of the era’s greatest epic romances—Malory’s Morte Darthur, Sidney’s Arcadia, and Spenser’s The Faerie Queene—reveal a deep, if sordid, fascination with the human body and what it means to look at it, inside and out. My research threads together literary criticism, historical and cultural studies, and disability theory.
