Professor Freyja Cox Jensen

My research interests centre on the cultural history of early modern Britain and Europe, especially the reception of the classics, and print and performance cultures more widely. I am currently working on projects exploring the classical book trade in early modern Europe, as well as projects examining the points at which print and the performance of drama and song intersect.

Biography:

I read Ancient and Modern History at Christ Church, Oxford, before going on to complete my MSt and DPhil there. After a year spent as a Stipendiary Lecturer at Merton College, Oxford, I returned to Christ Church in 2010 to take up a Junior Research Fellowship, before joining the University of Exeter in 2012.

Research supervision:

I am happy to discuss research proposals from students interested in studying aspects of classical reception in the early modern period, from those who are interested in the business of publishing books in early modern England, and those working on interdisciplinary, creative projects.
