Marissa Greenberg joined the faculty in 2006 after receiving her Ph. D. from the University of Pennsylvania.  She specializes in the drama of the English Renaissance.  Greenberg teaches courses in early English literature, including Shakespeare and Milton.  Her publications reflect her research on the intersection of dramatic form and urban history: “Women and the Theatre in Thomas Heywood’s London,” Selected Proceedings of the “Idea of the City'” Conference (forthcoming); “Signs of the Crimes:  Topography, Murder, and Early Modern Domestic Tragedy,” Genre (2007); and “Crossing from Scaffold to Stage: Execution Processions and Generic Conventions in The Comedy of Errors and Measure for Measure,” in Shakespeare and Historicist Formalism, ed. Stephen Cohen (2007).  Her current book project examines early modern English tragic theory and practice as a response to urban change.  Greenberg also reviews theater on occasion for The Albuquerque Journal.  Her other research and teaching interests include race, class, and gender in early English literature; seventeenth-century poetry; and performance history and theory.
