Elizabeth Scott-Baumann is Reader in Early Modern Literature at King's College London. Her first monograph, Forms of Engagement: Women, Poetry, and Culture 1640–1680 (2013), explored how seventeenth-century women poets' uses of different poetic forms drew from the culture around them. With Hannah Crawforth, she has collaborated extensively on Shakespeare's poems, co-editing a collection of essays (The Sonnets: State of Play) and commissioning poets to respond to the Sonnets (for the Shakespeare400 commemorations in 2016).
