Her research includes poetry, prose, drama, and a broad range of archival records. Jemima is currently preparing her monograph\u00a0<em>Habitat and Habitation: The River Thames 1550 to 1650<\/em>\u00a0for publication. Challenging the divide between riverine texts and contexts in new ways, this study unsettles the distinction between written and physical geographies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>Jemima\u2019s interdisciplinary research combines archival work with an approach shaped by disciplines such as cultural geography. Her research continues to focus on literary geographies and falls into three broad categories. She explores how place and mobility shaped early modern landscape writing, she continues to be interested in the material culture surrounding writing and performance in early modern London, and her work contributes to the emerging field of water studies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Jemima Matthews is a Teaching Fellow in Early Modern English Literature.
