University Libraries Promotion and Tenure Recognition

Cassius remarks, not without prophetic insight, in "Julius Caesar": "How many ages hence / Shall this our lofty scene be acted over / In states unborn and accents yet unknown!" My curiosity led me down the path of a satisfying intellectual life as a literary critic and cultural historian. While my work in the past years has touched on topics ranging from globalization to digital humanities, I have returned again and again, with pleasure, to The Riverside Shakespeare, one of the editions I still use in class as I introduce my students to the unique challenges and rewards of discovering the poet in the world.
