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 short story, “The News from North Korea,” is out in the December issue of the New Ohio Review and my next is forthcoming in Bourbon Penn.
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.
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.
