Dr Elizabeth Scott-Baumann is a Reader in Early Modern Literature and Pro-Vice Dean (Research Impact & Knowledge Exchange) at King's College London. She joined King’s in 2013 after academic roles at Oxford University, Oxford Brookes University, and the University of Leicester. Her research focuses on intersections between literary form, history, and gender, with key works including Forms of Engagement: Women, Poetry, and Culture 1640-1680 (OUP, 2013) and Sex and Style: Literary Criticism and Gender in Early Modern England (Princeton, 2024). She has edited major volumes like The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern Women’s Writing in English and co-authored works on Shakespeare with Hannah Crawforth.
Her teaching emphasizes political poetry, sonnets, and poetic movements from the 16th to 18th centuries, incorporating creative writing, museum visits, and manuscript studies at the MA level. She has engaged in public outreach, including co-editing On Shakespeare’s Sonnets: A Poets’ Celebration, a collection of poems responding to Shakespeare that gained international media attention.
Notable awards include the Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship. Her research has explored early modern women’s exclusion from literary criticism, gendered concepts of poetic style, and the materiality of print culture. She leads the London Shakespeare Centre and has contributed to grants such as the AHRC-funded IAA Accelerator Fund (2022–2027) and projects on mental health and AI art.
Her work bridges academic research and public engagement, with a focus on marginalized voices in early modern literature and the enduring relevance of Shakespearean forms.
