Hi everyone, I’m Susanne – another first-time reader of the play.
I specialise in (early modern) law and literature, and have a particular interest in genre (how do early modern genre politics/evolving genres influence the depiction of legal conflicts on the stage?), revenge, and non-Shakespearean drama. Oh, and pirates! Because the German university system is weird, I have a second research focus on contemporary literature (a PhD in feminist writing, a current interest in neo-Victorianism).
My pronouns are she/her/hers. I have two daughters, who have monopolised most of my spare time – so I tend to do crafty activities with the kids when I’m not working, and rather than going to the cinema (which used to be a big hobby of mine), I now explore the Disney+ back catalogue.
