Kit Heyam is a Lecturer in English in the Department of Humanities, Northumbria University and a queer history activist. Their recent publications include ‘Paratexts and Pornographic Potential in SeventeenthCentury Anatomy Books’ (The Seventeenth Century, 2018) and ‘Gender Nonconformity and Military Internment: Curating the Knockaloe Slides’ (Critical Military Studies, 2019).

"[..] Heyam’s careful analysis of sources (also summarized in a detailed, critically annotated appendix) reveals a continuous interplay between literary and historical discourse, united by their manipulation of genre and their manifest appeal to a reading public. The Reputation of Edward II masterfully delineates how so many pre modern writers sought to answer the question—who was Edward II?—and to decipher what he means for us now."- Graham N. Drake, Speculum Vol. 97, No. 3 (July 2022) "[...] a thorough and ambitious study that makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the development of Edward II’s reputation over the centuries, the evolution of vocabulary used to discuss sexual transgression, and the writing of medieval history in early modern England." - Kathryn Warner, Journal of British Studies, Vol. 61, Iss. 3
