Andrew Fleck

One facet of my academic identity I want to highlight here is my inter- and transdisciplinary expertise in early modern studies. I have published books and articles on a variety of literary and cultural topics, from a late medieval travel narrative (Mandeville’s Travels) to Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe. I am most known for my studies of early modern England and the Low Countries, having published my monograph, English National Identity and the Image of the Dutch, with Palgrave in 2024. I am also known for my work on Thomas Nashe. My current interdisciplinary project, Schemers and Skeptics: The Search for Certainty in the Age of Bacon, brings together literature and the history of science to better understand the response to changing epistemologies in early modern Europe. A more complete presentation of my research and scholarship will be available on a set of pages beginning here.
