Genevieve Love

Associate Professor, Chair

My specialty is the drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, particularly in performance; I teach Shakespeare, Milton’s Paradise Lost, Renaissance Drama, Introduction to Poetry, and LGBT Literature. In my research and writing, I often focus on the problem of “liveness” on the early modern stage: I am interested in how the power of live theater might enable, or indeed depend upon, the staging of loss or absence. My recent publications include “Shakespeare and Performance” in Literature Compass, “Performance Criticism Without Performance: the Study ofNon-Shakespearean Drama” in NewDirections in Renaissance Drama and Performance Studies, and “Going Back to that Well: Richard II’s ‘Deposition Scene’” in Richard II: New Critical Essays.
