Biography:
Danielle Clarke was educated in London and Oxford before coming to UCD in 1994. Most of her publications to date have dealt with writing by early modern women, their engagement with mainstream literary culture in particular. Other areas in which she has published include sexuality, literary theory, translation in the Renaissance, and textual criticism. Professor Clarke is currently at work on a major book-length project which focuses on the evolving relationships of language, gender and power in the early modern period. This project looks at a wide range of material from 1500-1700, including sermons, commonplace books, ballads, conduct literature and devotional works as well as more conventionally literary text (poetry, drama). |
