Honor Jackson
Biography
Dr. Honor Jackson’s research in early modern English literature, with a particular interest in seventeenth-century texts, is characterised by a focus on gender studies and political history, as well as an interest in adaptation, genre and the malleability of generic boundaries. Her PhD thesis, ‘Gender, Politics and the Utopian Impulse in Late Seventeenth-Century English Literature’ (completed October 2023) investigated utopian texts produced between 1660 and 1686 and demonstrated the insight they can provide into relations between the sexes, the position of women in politics and society, the hopes and fears of contemporary authors and citizens, and the development of the genre of utopian literature. Her other research interests include female authorship, book history, travel writing, and early modern scientific discourse. She has published articles related to her research interests in venues such as Shakespeare Jahrbuch and Cahiers Élisabéthains.
