My research concerns the interrelated aspects of early modern literature and culture, with a special focus on theatre, drama and cheap print in the 16th and 17th centuries, more specifically, between 1580 and 1640. Shakespeare and his contemporaries lived in a world where phenomena of elite and popular cultures fed into each other, which was harnessed profitably by performative events, playtexts, and cheap print. My research interests include visual culture and iconography, with a focus on emblem books, which also thrived on the threshold of the elite and popular, and were occasioned by wide-ranging cultural networks in early modern Europe.

My interests in theatre and drama history are wide-ranging, with the following focal points: drama and theatre in Shakespeare's England; contemporary English and Hungarian reception of Shakespeare's and his contemporaries' plays (mostly theatrical but not exclusively); writing theatre reviews; contemporary Hungarian theatre after 1989, I am especially interested in political theatre, and published several articles on this topic, related to Caryl Churchill and Shakespeare's works both in Hungarian and in international publications. I also teach European drama history for Theatre Studies MA students at ELTE:
