Madeleine Bracey is a PhD candidate in the Centre for Arts, Memory, and Communities at Coventry University. She is currently researching book and library history in an educational and social context. Her PhD thesis looks to reconstruct the library of Coventry’s early modern Grammar School by working with early printed books and manuscript documents. Outside of her PhD project, Madeleine is also interested in Renaissance drama and music, with a particular focus on performers as real individuals who interacted with members of the public inside and outside of their performance spaces. Madeleine endeavours to promote interdisciplinarity within her work, such as viewing early modern music as a performed work rather than as solely a static historical source.
