Kim Huth joined the English department faculty in 2009.  Her areas of interest include Shakespeare, sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English literature, genre studies, and theories of identity construction and performance.  She is currently working on two article-length essays drawn from her dissertation, Figures of Pain:  Suffering and Selfhood in Early Modern English Literature:  one on the rhetorical use of pain in the Petrarchan poetry of Sir Philip Sidney, and another that reexamines the punishment of Falstaff in Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor within the context of early modern festive culture.  She also looks forward to a new project on early autobiography and the technologies of self-representation in early modern England.
