Adrienne Eastwood is an Associate Professor of English at San José State University, specializing in early modern English literature and culture. Her research encompasses Renaissance drama and poetry, Shakespeare, Spenser, early modern women authors, and critical gender studies.
Current major project involves assembling a sourcebook of early English epithalamia (wedding poetry) circulating before and after Spenser's influential works (up to 1632). This anthology aims to:
- Contextualize Spenser's contributions within the epithalamic tradition
- Enable analysis of the form's ideological dimensions
- Illuminate dynamic relationships between poetic structures and Elizabethan society
- Trace the form's evolution into a major 17th-century poetic mode
Research bridges literary analysis, cultural history, and gender studies to explore how poetic forms both reflect and shape social practices and ideologies.
