A spirited Shakespearian
What did you do
before coming to the
University?
I grew up in Denver,
Colorado. Then I went
to college at Princeton,
and then I spent a year in
France studying Renais-
sance literature. ThenI
went to Marvard where
Idid my masters and my
Ph.D.
What brought you to
Michigan?
Icame to teach in
the English department
because of the strength of
the department. There's a
great Renaissance faculty
here, there's a wonderful
creative writing program
- the kinds of interests
that are hoth academic
and creative - and I felt
like this would be a great
place for me. It was a very
easy decision.
What inspired you to
become an English pro-
fessor?
I felt like I was good at
reading books, and I felt I
was pretty good at writ-
ing, and I didn't know if
I was good at anything
else other than those two
things.
What courses do you
currently teach?
I'm teaching acourse on
Shakespeare's early plays,
which is a lecture course,
and I'm teaching an intro-
duction to poetry course
which is a small, 200-level
What's your favorite
Shakespeare play and
why?
I don't have one, but
I'm very fond of "Twelfth
Night." I love the brother-
sister relationship in that
play, and I also like how.
alienating the type of
humor is. It's sort of acom-
bination about what I love
about Shakespeare, that
he writes certain things
that we immediately iden-
tify with - in this case,
the strong bond between a
brother and a sister - and
then he does other things
that are very estranging.
What do you think
sets you apart from
other professors in the
department?
I think, that we're all
different from each other
by virtue of our person-
alities. We're a collection
of a very diverse group of
thinkers. I'm probably less
mature than a lot of my
colleagues. Probably what
drives me to Shakespeare
is the kind of silliness of
some of the plays and the
bawdy humor, which I
always enjoy.
