More recently, her adaptations research has asked, ‘how does modern cinema construct early modern sexuality?’ Her interest in adaptation emerged from a scholarly edition (begun with Barbara Murray) of adaptations from the early eighteenth century (published in 2014). In 2015 she received a Huntington Library Fellowship for her project, 'Melancholy and the Opportune Moment: Occasio as Mediator of Emotion on the Early Modern English Stage', which forms the basis of that research. In 2016 she was a VIDI finalist for her project 'The Time of Emotions: Regulating the Self in Early Modern English Literature'. This research also led to the development of a project on the relationship between time and emotion in early modern literature. This first interest began with her PhD research on nostalgia in early modern drama (which forms the basis of her book). ![]() In her research, Kristine is interested broadly both in time in early modernity and in Shakespeare adaptations. She has worked with the Dutch National Opera and Ballet, The Moving Arts Project, the Amsterdam Academisch Club, and the Friends of the Rotterdam Youth Philharmonic Orchestra.
