She is the author of a monograph on Shakespeare, discourse and politeness, Power Relations and Fool-Master Discourse in Shakespeare (OPSL, 1991) and has co-authored, with Jean Jacques Weber, The Literature Workbook (Routledge, 1998). Her publications include articles on crime fiction, the pronouns of address in Shakespeare (Language and Literature, 1, 1992), rewritings of Shakespeare in Angela Carter's fiction and Shakespeare in Spain. Recent articles include a reading of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park as a revision of Shakespeare's King Lear (Shakespeare Survey 58, 2005). She has edited, with Ton Hoenselaars, a volume on "European Shakespeares" for The Shakespearean International Yearbook (Ashgate, 2008). She is currently working on a funded research project on Shakespeare and World War I.
