Professional Biography
Dr. Bossert specializes in English Renaissance literature, and her research and teaching interests include early drama, Shakespeare, and rhetoric, as well as textual studies, literary theory, and Apocalyptic literature. Her book manuscript, “The Tudor Antichrists, 1485-1603,” is a cultural history analyzing the rhetorical use of Antichrist figures in Reformation texts. She reads these figures through the lens of humanist semiotics, tracking their evolving significations and their effects on religio-political discourse, both English and Continental.
