Katarzyna Lecky

is the Surtz Associate Professor for the Department of English at Loyola University in Chicago. Her research focuses on popular forms of intellectual history by studying the early modern publics mapped by cheap print, which constellated around certain catchwords and concepts to define what came to be seen as common and even natural to the national English character. Her first book, Pocket Maps and Public Poetry in Renaissance England was published by Oxford University Press in 2019.
