Heather Dubrow is the author of six scholarly books, most recently The Challenges of Orpheus: Lyric Poetry and Early Modern England (Johns Hopkins). Her other publications include a co-edited collection of essays, two chapbooks of poetry, and articles on early modern literature and on teaching, as well as poems in numerous journals. Current projects include a book on the academic profession and a study of temporality and spatiality in lyric poetry that is likely to encompass both Renaissance/early modern and twentieth and twenty-first century writers. Building bridges between critical approaches has long been one of her goals, and in particular she engages with what is sometimes termed the new formalism, which traces the interactions between form in its many senses and concerns of recent scholarship, such as material and historical analysis. Among Heather Dubrow's interdisciplinary interests is the relationship between the visual and literary arts.
Areas of Interest
Early modern/Renaissance literature, especially lyric poetry and Shakespeare;
