Wikipedia pages I've worked on:

• Samuel Daniel
• Musophilus
• Chronology of Shakespeare's plays

As noted on the Talk page for the entry on Samuel Daniel, I received my PhD from The University of Birmingham, having studied Samuel Daniel. I would welcome any discussion of Daniel and his works, especially focusing on the relationship of his works to Shakespeare's (the topic of my thesis).

I am in the process of editing the Wikipedia article on Samuel Daniel. Please feel free to look at my edits and offer comments on the Talk:Samuel Daniel page.

In the interest of full disclosure, below is a list of my own contributions to Samuel Daniel scholarship that are cited in the article. I believe that I have complied with WP:COI policy, but if someone has a particular concern, please let me know and I will try to address. I'm still very new to this and am getting used to the appropriate procedure.
