Matthew Woodcock came to UEA in January 2004. He studied at Exeter University and University College, Oxford where he completed a DPhil in 2001 entitled 'Renaissance Elf-Fashioning: The Rhetoric of Fairy in Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene'. After lecturing in Oxford, he taught at University College, Cork and Birkbeck College, London. In 2007 he obtained the Postgraduate Certificate of Higher Education Practice from the University of East Anglia.
My main ongoing research project is a monograph, Thomas Churchyard and the Construction of Professional Authorship.
I'm happy to supervise research on any aspect of medieval and early modern literature, and am particularly interested in sixteenth-century textual culture and in traditions and forms spanning the medieval and early modern periods.
For all publications please see my publications tab.
