Dr Daniel Cadman BA (Hons), MA, PhD
Senior Lecturer in English Literature
Summary
I lecture on a variety of modules across the English programme, with particular teaching interests in Renaissance and nineteenth century literature. My key research interests include early modern drama, including the works of William Shakespeare, as well as the relationship between politics and tragic drama in the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean periods.
About
I joined the Department of Humanities full-time in late 2016 when I was appointed as Lecturer in English Literature. Prior to this, I completed my PhD at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ and went on to teach with the English group as an Associate Lecturer. I have taught on a variety of modules across the English degrees, focusing mainly upon Renaissance and nineteenth century literature. I have also worked as module leader on a range of literature modules, including The Gothic and Children’s Literature, as well as Epic Transformations, a first-year module covering a variety of texts ranging from classical and biblical sources up to the late twentieth century.
My research interests are focused primarily upon literature of the Renaissance period, particularly the drama of the era. My monograph, Sovereigns and Subjects in Early Modern Neo-Senecan Drama: Republicanism, Stoicism and Authority, was published by Ashgate in late 2015. The book focuses upon drama written for private reading or recitation rather than performance in the commercial theatres and highlighted the ways in which this form of drama interrogated issues relating to political power, tyranny, resistance, and the limits of stoic strategies of endurance. In addition to this project, I have published on a variety of authors, including William Shakespeare, Samuel Daniel, and Fulke Greville, and have worked on a range of topics, including tragic drama and sovereignty, drama and the Reformation, and early modern literature and commerce. I am also co- editing a collection of essays on the sub-genres of early modern tragedy and am the Managing Editor of Early Modern Literary Studies, a peer- reviewed journal available freely online. I have also contributed to a variety of publications, including The Year’s Work in English Studies, the Arden Critical Guides to Early Modern Drama series, and the Lost Plays Database. I also worked on the Literary Cultures of the Cavendish Family project, based at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ, by producing an online edition of The Concealed Fancies, a play written during the English Civil War by Jane Cavendish and Elizabeth Brackley.
