Faculty AdvisorDaniel Pollack-PelznerDepartment: EnglishEducation: B.A., Yale University, 2001; M.A., Harvard University, 2006; Ph.D., Harvard University, 2010 Academic Interests: I'm fascinated by the ways that Shakespeare shapes our culture and that our culture shapes what we mean by Shakespeare. In the classroom, I explore Shakespeare and early modern literature through the primary lenses of genre, gender, and performance. Outside the classroom, I lead trips to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and am the scholar-in-residence for the Portland Shakespeare Project. I'm also interested in adaptations and appropriations of Shakespeare, particularly in the last two centuries, and I'm finishing a book on Shakespeare and the Victorian novel. I'm curious more broadly about the ways we construe literary history and the interaction of authors and genres. I'm beginning work on a second project that explores the relation between literary techniques of quotation, parody, and allusion, and legal definitions of intellectual property and originality. I also offer courses in a range of periods from 1500 to the present, with particular emphasis on the history of drama and the novel.
