Hudson Vincent teaches writing seminars at Harvard College. His book manuscript, The English Baroque: The Logic of Excess, presents the first large-scale history of English baroque literature and demonstrates how the baroque offered early modern authors a way to think about excess. Rather than a term of periodization, The English Baroque argues that the baroque is best defined as a logic of excess—a logic for making sense of the excesses of the world. Hudson is also at work on a second book on the early modern prison.
