Jax Roe

I’m very interested in the Renaissance (as if you hadn’t noticed from the rest of the site :0), and have a BA in English and and MA in Renaissance Studies from Birkbeck, University of London.

My undergraduate degree focused primarily on Elizabethan and Jacobean texts, particularly the city comedies. My dissertation was a very badly thrown together piece on Sumptuary Laws in City Comedies. My MA concentrated on Florentine art, particularly related to the patronage of Cosimo de Medici and the Medici family. My dissertation was based around The Construct of the Medicean Magi in Quattrocento Florence

I tweet under the names @Bebejax and @RenaissanceNews, so say hi when you’re next on Twitter.
