About Me

Brandon Taylor

I am an Assistant Professor of English at Mount Marty University, where I specialize in early modern literature and political theology. My research examines how literary and rhetorical forms shaped—and were shaped by—the institutional and economic structures of the seventeenth century. I am also developing a TEI-based digital edition of The Letters of John Chamberlain, an open-access archive of early modern correspondence. This work sits where literary history meets political theology and the longer history of capitalism.


This site is a record of my work as a scholar and teacher—including the ongoing development of The Chamberlain Letters.
