David K. Anderson’s work
focuses on the poetry and drama of the English Renaissance, and on the
relationship between literature and religion. He is particularly
interested in William Shakespeare, John Milton, Christopher Marlowe,
John Donne, John Foxe and George Herbert, as well as Reformation
history and the work of René Girard. He is currently working on
a book-length study about how the cultural crisis surrounding religious
violence is reflected in the tragedy of Shakespeare and his
contemporaries. Anderson is also interested in Milton’s relationship to
the Protestant Reformation and the idea of a national church, as well
as how English poets of the later sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
responded to the continental wars of religion. He has published an
article on John Donne’s poetry in Renaissance
and Reformation, and has an article on King Lear and sacrificial violence
forthcoming from English Literary
History.
A native of Ontario, Canada, Anderson has a BA (Hon) from Queen’s
University (Kingston), an MA from Dalhousie University (Halifax) and a
PhD from McGill University (Montreal). He has previously taught courses
at McGill, Trinity College (at the University of Toronto), and Ryerson
University.
