She is the author of The Expense Of Spirit: Love And Sexuality In English Renaissance Drama (1988) and Gender And Heroism In Early Modern English Literature (2002). She is also editor of Women In The Middle Ages And The Renaissance: Literary And Historical Perspectives (1986) and co-editor of Elizabeth I: Collected Works (2000).
