Johanson Kristine - Shakespeare adaptations from the early eighteenth century five plays

Kristine Johanson completed her graduate studies in early modern English literature at the University of St. Andrews in 2010. At present she is Assistant Professor of English Renaissance Literature and Culture at the University of Amsterdam, where she teaches Shakespeare and literature from the broad early modern period (14001800). Her next research project, Golden Ages: Shakespeare and Early Modern Nostalgia, explores how nostalgia was articulated as a political discourse in early modern English drama.
