Professor Claire Preston, D.Phil Oxford; M.Phil Yale; MA Oxford; BA Illinois
Professor Emeritus of Renaissance Literature, Queen Mary University, London
I joined Queen Mary in September 2013 after spending much of my career at Cambridge. I have also held posts at Oxford and Birmingham. My doctoral research considered word and image relationships in Sidney and Shakespeare; my subsequent research on Renaissance literature has been supported by awards from the British Academy and the Guggenheim Foundation, and I currently hold a major AHRC grant supporting the OUP’s Complete Works of Sir Thomas Browne (forthcoming from Oxford, 2015-2019), of which I am the general editor. Working with a team of 13 editors, the first volume based on Religio Medici is due for publication in 2023. You ca read more about this Browne project here
My books include monographs on Edith Wharton (2000), Sir Thomas Browne (2005), the cultural history of bees (2006), and the poetics of seventeenth-century science (2015). My recent television and radio work includes The Century that Wrote Itself (with Adam Nicolson); For the Love of Honey (with Martha Kearney); and interviews on BBC Radio 3, National Public Radio (USA) and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. I was awarded the British Academy’s Rose Mary Crawshay Prize in 2005 and the British Society for Literature and Science Prize in 2015.
