Dr Victoria Sparey

I am a Senior Lecturer in the Department of English and Creative Writing. My research and teaching focus upon sixteenth and seventeenth-century English literature, especially the drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. I specialize in examining how contemporary ideas about the body informed the performance of age and gender upon the early modern stage. These ideas are reflected in my teaching, which centres upon Shakespeare, performance and the early modern life cycle.

I convene the following modules: "Rethinking Shakespeare" (Level 1); "Life and Death in Early Modern Literature" (Level 3); I co-convene "Shakespeare's Women" (Level 2, Inbound Study Abroad).

My office is 302, Queen's Building. The room is wheelchair accessible by lift (located in the main foyer of the building). To book an office hour meeting, please email me: vs216@exeter.ac.uk
