Harriet Archer received her BA, MSt and DPhil from Christ Church, Oxford, with doctoral funding from the AHRC. She has held fellowships including a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship at Newcastle University, as well as an O. B. Hardison Research Fellowship at the Folger Shakespeare Institute in Washington D. C. and Francis Bacon Fellowship at the Huntington Library, CA, and has taught at Jesus College, Oxford, and the University of Colorado, Boulder. She joined St Andrews in 2018.
Harriet's research focuses on Tudor attitudes toward textual transmission, cultural production and literary authority, including the Renaissance reception of classical and medieval writing and thought in drama and printed poetry. Her first book, Unperfect Histories: the Mirror for Magistrates, 1559-1610, was published by Oxford University Press in 2017, and explores the ways in which narratives of national history and identity were interrogated and refracted throughout the development of this seminal poem collection in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. She is currently working on an edition of Norton and Sackville's Elizabethan tragedy Gorboduc for the Manchester Revels Plays Series, with Paul Frazer, and of the sixteenth-century English translations of Erasmus's Colloquies for the MHRA Tudor and Stuart Translations Series' Erasmus in English, 1523-1584 with Alex Davis, Gordon Kendal and Neil Rhodes, as well as a second monograph, provisionally titled New Poets: Writing and Authority in Elizabeth England.
