Biography:
| Jane Grogan joined the School of English, Drama and film in September 2008, having previously taught at the University of Leeds, and held post-doctoral fellowships at the Pennsylvania State University and NUI, Galway. |
Research Interests
| My research and teaching interests lie in English Renaissance literature, particularly the writings of Edmund Spenser; Protestant poetics; Renaissance classicism and reception of Greek classical literature; constructions of the East; the Mediterranean world; epic and romance. I am currently working on a monograph on the image of Persia (ancient and contemporary) in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English writing, as well as a critical edition of the first English translation of Xenophon's Cyropaedia, for the MHRA Tudor and Stuart Translations series. |
