Author Biography

Jared Johnson, Stony Brook University

Jared Johnson is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in English from Stony Brook University. His present scholarly interests include English Renaissance drama, early modern economic and social history, and film, media, and cultural studies, with a particular emphasis on appropriation. He has recently published an article in College Literature, entitled "The Propaganda Imperative: Challenging Mass Media Representations in McKellen's Richard III," which explores the vexed, meta-textual stance that the film takes vis-à-vis its medium. Most recently, he has presented papers on Jonson's Catiline and Massinger's The Renegado at the Georgia Graduate Student Interdisciplinary Conference in Athens, Georgia and the Conference for Early Modern Cultural Studies in Orlando, Florida.
