Map of Early Modern London

Members of the Editorial Board will prioritize pages to be completed, suggest contributors and referees, pass on titles for the bibliography, offer comment on contributor guidelines and MoEML stylesheets, help establish editorial policy for the transcription and annotation of texts about London, and occasionally vet potential contributions. We intend to establish a fairly large editorial board of about 25 members, within which there will be several clusters of disciplinary or technical expertise. The following people have generously agreed to become members of the inaugural Editorial Board of The Map of Early Modern London. Other board members will be announced shortly.

Glenn Clark. Dr. Glenn Clark (Ph.D. Chicago) is an Associate Professor in the Department of English, Film and Theatre at the University of Manitoba.

He is the author of articles on Shakespeare and other aspects of early-modern English drama in journals and book collections including ELR, Renaissance and Reformation, Religion and Literature, Shakespeare and Religious Change (Palgrave, 2009), and Playing The Globe: Genre and Geography in English Renaissance Drama (Fairleigh Dickinson/Associated UP, 1998).

He is coordinating editor of Digital Renaissance Editions, co-editor of the Routledge journal Shakespeare, and Vice President of the Australian and New Zealand Shakespeare Association (ANZSA).

He has published articles on John Taylor the "water-poet," on Ben Jonson's use of transvestism, and on Shakespeare and Dickens. His recent book, Our Scene is London (Routledge 2008), examines Jonson's representation of urban space as an element in his strategy of self-definition. His chapter in Representing the Plague in Early Modern England (ed. Totaro and Gilman, Routledge 2010) explores King James's accession and Shakespeare's Measure for Measure as parallel cultural performances shaped by London's 1603 plague. Dr. Mardock is at work on an edition of quarto and folio Henry V for the Internet Shakespeare Editions, for which he serves as assistant general editor, and a study of Calvinism and metatheatre in early-modern drama. He has also served as the dramaturge for the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival.
