• Fashioning Authority: The Development of Elizabethan Novelistic Discourse (1994)

• Framing Elizabethan Fictions: Contemporary Approaches to Early Modern Narrative Prose (1996)

• Cosmographical Glasses: Geographic Discourse, Gender, And Elizabethan Fiction (2004)
  Examines the way in which sixteenth-century English texts -- traverler's reports, ethnographic studies, and geographic guides -- provide the foundation for how fictional prose of the period envisions the locations in which the tales are set.

• Prose Fiction and Early Modern Sexualities in England, 1570-1640 (2004)
  This book brings together twelve new essays which situate the arguments about the multiple constructions of sexualities in prose fiction within contemporary critical and theoretical debates about the body, desire, gender, print and manuscript culture, postcoloniality, and cultural geography. Looking at Sidney's Arcadia, Wroth's Urania, Lyly's Euphues; fictions by Gascoigne, Riche, Parry, Johnson, and Brathwaite; as well as Hellenic romances, rogue fictions, and novelle, the essays expand and challenge current critical arguments about early modern sexualities, the gendering of labor, female eroticism, queer masculinity, sodomy, male friendship, cross-dressing, heteroeroticism, incest, and the gendering of poetic creativity.
