Bio
Katie Calloway is interested in the relationships between literature, science, and theology in seventeenth-century England. She has written on literary authors such as John Donne, George Herbert, John Milton, Lucy Hutchinson and John Bunyan as well as natural philosophers such as John Ray and John Wilkins and theologians such as Richard Baxter and John Owen. Her work appears in journals such as Milton Studies, Renaissance and Reformation, English Literary Renaissance, and Studies in Philology. She has written two monographs: Natural Theology in the Scientific Revolution (Pickering and Chatto, 2014) and Literature and Natural Theology in Early Modern England (Cambridge, 2023). She is currently co-editing two volumes: with Angelica Duran, Global Bunyan and Visual Art (Bloomsbury/Lexington Books, 2025) and with Chanita Goodblatt, Recognizing our Religious Allegiances in Early Modern Literary Scholarship (Baylor, 2026).
When she’s not teaching or writing, Katie enjoys spending time with her husband, their two kids, and their dog, Milton.
