Het academische werk van Christina Wald duikt in hedendaags en vroegmodern drama, feministische en gender theory, en filmische bewerkingen van Jane Austens romans. Ze is bijzonder geïnteresseerd in retorische figuren, zoals herhaling, en onderzoekt hoe deze literaire middelen zich manifesteren in dramatische en filmische media. Haar analyse verkent ook de invloed van feministische en gender theory op de interpretatie van literaire werken en hun vertalingen naar het scherm. Wald brengt een diepgaand begrip van literaire theorie en de intersectie ervan met visuele cultuur in haar onderzoek.

This study takes a fresh look at the abundant scenarios of disguise in early modern prose fiction and suggests reading them in the light of the contemporary religio-political developments. More specifically, it argues that Elizabethan narratives adopt aspects of the heated Eucharist debate during the Reformation, including officially renounced notions like transubstantiation, to negotiate culturally pressing concerns regarding identity change. Drawing on the rich field of research on the adaptation of pre-Reformation concerns in Anglican England, the book traces a cross-fertilisation between the Reformation and the literary mode of romance. The study brings together topics which are currently being strongly debated in early modern studies: the turn to religion, a renewed interest in aesthetics, and a growing engagement with prose fiction. Narratives which are discussed in detail are William Baldwin’s Beware the Cat, Robert Greene’s Pandosto and Menaphon, Philip Sidney’s Old and New Arcadia, and Thomas Lodge’s Rosalynd and A Margarite of America, George Gascoigne’s Steele Glas, John Lyly’s Euphues: An Anatomy of Wit and Euphues and his England, Barnabe Riche’s Farewell, Greene’s A Quip for an Upstart Courtier, and Thomas Nashe’s The Unfortunate Traveller.
