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 completing a
book-length study about how the
sixteenth-century cultural crisis
surrounding religious violence is
reflected in the tragedy of Shakespeare
and his contemporaries. Anderson is also
interested in Milton’s political theology
and his place in the Protestant
theological tradition, as well as how
Tudor-Stuart writers responded to the
continental wars of religion. He has
published articles on John Donne’s poetry
in Renaissance and Reformation,
and on King Lear and sacrificial violence
in ELH. He has an article on
Marlowe and damnation forthcoming from Texas
Studies in Literature and Language.
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. |
