Marjorie Garber

“Masterfully bridging the gap between high culture and low, Garber’s witty, accessible essays give us surprising angles on a host of topics.” Jonathan Culler, Cornell University

“Marjorie Garber has crafted an impressive career built upon words. Whether looking at the time-tested plays of Shakespeare or the ephemeral discourses of contemporary culture, she takes nothing about language for granted. Spirited master of both high and low, she compellingly demonstrates that the words we thought we knew are full of unexpected turns, shifts in meaning, and double dealings. This new collection of essays is at once vintage Garber and richly surprising.” Nancy J. Vickers, Bryn Mawr College

Marjorie Garber is the William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of English and of Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University. Among her many books are Shakespeare and Modern Culture, Quotation Marks, Shakespeare after all, and The Use and Abuse of Literature.
