Minton’s publications focus upon the overlapping categories of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, textual editing, the English Reformation, performance criticism, and the reception of Shakespeare in the American West. Her more recent research involves collaborations across disciplines, with special attention given to environmental history.

Tracing over two centuries of history, Minton’s most recent monograph, Shakespeare in Montana, uncovers Montana’s love affair with William Shakespeare. From mountain men, pioneers, itinerant acting companies in mining camps, women's clubs at the turn of the twentieth century and the current popularity of Shakespeare in the Parks across Montana, the book chronicles the stories of residents across this incredible western state who have been attracted to the words and works of Shakespeare.
