Field's published work concerns the material culture of Anne of Denmark, queen consort of Scotland, and wife of James VI and I.Jemma Field, 'Dressing a Queen: The Wardrobe of Anna of Denmark at the Scottish Court of King James VI, 1590–1603', in Sara Ayres ed.,The Court Historian, 24:2 (2019), pp. 166-7. Like many modern writers she prefers the use of the forename "Anna" instead of "Anne". Her ideas about Anne of Denmark's personal piety and religious views, and the role of her Danish chaplain Johannes Sering, contribute to contemporary debate.Jemma Field, 'Anna of Denmark and the Politics of Religious Identity in Jacobean Scotland and England, c. 1592-1619', Northern Studies, 50 (2019), pp. 87-113.
Field examines the ways in which Anne of Denmark expressed her identity and agency through her own dress and bodily ornament, including her jewellery, and also the costume of her servants and household, which reflected both the customs of Scotland and the royal court of Denmark and the House of Oldenburg.Sara Ayres, [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14629712.2019.1626105 'Introduction', The Court Historian: The Northern Line: Representing Danish Consorts in Scotland, England and Great Britain, 24:2 (2019), p. 114]
