- Lying in Early Modern England (OUP, 2017) is the only study of ideas of lying from the Reformation to the early Jacobean period. This substantial 386 page work is based on a series of significant case studies – the trial of Thomas More, murder pamphlets, courtesy books, religious polemic, as well as more literary texts – and is designed to challenge existing notions of evidence, truth, and the relationship between fact and fiction. It productively mingles the archival and the canonical and was supported by a Research Fellowship from the Leverhulme Trust and one at All Souls College, Oxford.
