I’m a working Shakespeare scholar and moonlighting short-story writer who teaches at Cleveland State University.
My first book, Owning William Shakespeare: The King’s Men and Their Intellectual Property is available from University of Pennsylvania Press.
My newest essays, “Macbeth and the Eighth King” and “Early Performance” have recently been published in Shakespeare Quarterly and The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and Early Modern Authorship, edited by Rory Loughnane and Will Sharpe.
My newest short story, “How to Believe” is out in Bourbon Penn #38. My next stories are scheduled to appear in X-R-A-Y and Chicago Literary Review.
I used to blog as Doctor Cleveland at Dagblog. Opinions expressed there, here, or on other social media are my own and do not reflect the positions of Cleveland State University. I can be found as @jamesjmarino.bsky.social and @jamesjmarino on Threads.
