His first book, Sovereignty and Intelligence: Spying and Court Culture in the English Renaissance (Stanford University Press, 1993), discusses the portrayal of political surveillance in the works of Montaigne, Marlowe, Bacon, and other authors.

His third monograph is titled Citizen Shakespeare: Freemen and Aliens in the Language of the Plays (Palgrave Macmillan, 2005).
