Bio

Emma Bradford is a PhD student specializing in early modern literature. Her research focuses on defenses of theater and negotiations of identity in medieval and early modern drama, with special attention paid to Ben Jonson’s and Shakespeare’s later works. She is particularly interested in playwrights who practiced self-advocacy by comparing their talents to those of aristocrats, body workers, and inventors.
