Professor Ng specializes in early modern literature with a secondary interest in postcolonial literatures. She has published a book, Literature and the Politics of Family in Seventeenth-Century England (Cambridge University Press, 2007, paperback 2009), and a number of essays in Modern Philology, Milton Studies, Comparative Literature, Studies in the Age of Chaucer, ELH, Studies in Philology, The Seventeenth Century, the Journal of Commonwealth Literature, and elsewhere. Her second book project, Reviving Alexander's Empire: Renaissance Classicism from Britain to Islamic Southeast Asia, brings together her interests in early modern England and in colonialism/postcolonialism. Her work has been supported by year-long fellowships from the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard University, the National Humanities Center, Harrington Faculty Fellows Program at the University of Texas at Austin; she has also won smaller grants from the International Institute for Asian Studies in Leiden, Oklahoma Humanities Council, the American Philosophical Society, the British Academy and others. She teaches courses in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century British literature, early modern travel literature, early modern women writers, Shakespeare, Milton, epic, and postcolonial literature.
