Lizzie Swann is Assistant Professor of Interdisciplinary Literary Studies at Durham University. Her research interests focus on the relationships between literature, natural philosophy, and theology in England, circa 1500-1700; she is particularly interested in the ways that literary texts represent knowing and knowledge as a sensory, embodied, and passionate set of practices and experiences. Her publications include a monograph, Taste and Knowledge in Early Modern England (Cambridge University Press, 2020). She is currently working towards two new books, provisionally titled Knowledge and Power: A Polemical History, and Error and Ecstasy: The Ends of Knowledge in Renaissance England.
