Expert Profile: Dr. K. M. Parsons

Expertise:  First off: I WILL NOT DO ANYTHING RESEMBLING YOUR HOMEWORK FOR YOU. Don't bother leaving me a question if this is what you're after. If, however, you have a general-interest question ("Was Elizabeth I really a virgin her whole life?"), or want a _general_ opinion about something on which you've been working (i.e. something on which you've already put in a good deal of effort), I'll be happy to help to the best of my ability. I am able to answer questions on early modern English literature (that is, generally speaking, literature of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries), particularly those pertaining to poetry (secular or devotional) and drama. I am also well-versed in the political and religious matters of the England of this era, and have a particular interest in the Tudor monarchy.

Experience in the area
I teach part-time in the disciplines of English and Theatre at the university level.

Publications
I edited and wrote the introduction to the first modern edition of the sonnets of Anne Locke, an early modern English woman writer, entitled _"A Meditation of a Penitent Sinner"_ (North Waterloo Academic Press); I also wrote a chapter on Locke that is included in _Other Voices, Other Views_ (University of Delaware Press).

Education/Credentials
I hold a PhD in Renaissance English literature.
