Biography
Boston University
Christopher Martin’s teaches a wide variety of courses in early modern literature and culture that have consistently directed his scholarly pursuits which, in turn, have inspired new seminar topics. His latest book Constituting Old Age in Early Modern English Literature, for example, assesses the way that aging came to afford as provocative a focus as gender or class for late Elizabethan writers and took shape within his undergraduate and graduate seminars in the poetry of John Donne and more ranging investigations of sixteenth-century courtly literature. Similarly, his upcoming seminar “Poetry for Men,” exploring the extent to which male English poets of the seventeenth century crafted their representative lyric works in response to the rise of female authorship in the era, forms the topic of his next extended writing project.
