Prof Neil Rhodes

Education and Experience

Neil Rhodes was a Scholar of St Catherine’s College, Oxford, where he was awarded the degrees of MA and DPhil and was a Newdigate prizewinner. His teaching is mainly in the field of Renaissance literature, though he also contributes to modules on Speeches and Speech Writing and Literary Theory. He is currently Director of the MLitt in Shakespeare Studies, a member of AHRC Peer Review College, a Visiting Professor at the University at the University of Granada, and joint General Editor with Andrew Hadfield of the MHRA Tudor and Stuart Translations.

Research Interests

Neil has three research interests at present. First, translation and the development of the vernacular in early modern England. Second, sound and the oral/aural dimensions of literature in English, especially the early modern period; this develops from a long-standing interest in rhetoric and the media in history. Third, popular culture and its relationship to elite forms of culture in Elizabethan England.

Recent PhD students have received ORS and Commonwealth scholarships and AHRC and Carnegie Caledonian awards. He welcomes enquiries from students who are considering postgraduate research in any of the areas described above.
