Dr. Lonsberry joined the Department of English in the fall of 2021 after earning his Ph.D. and working as a Lecturer at Purdue University. His specialty is early modern drama—particularly that of Shakespeare—and his research focuses on Shakespeare’s plays in performance at the court of King James I. Additional research interests include Ben Jonson and the Stuart court masques, as well as Prince Henry Frederick’s impact on Stuart court culture. Some recent essays are “The Tempest, The Winter’s Tale, and Dramatic Absolutism on the Stuart Court Stage,” published in ELH, and “‘The purchase is to make men glorious’: Pericles on the Stuart Court Stage,” soon to be published in The Shakespearean International Yearbook. When he is not teaching, Dr. Lonsberry enjoys listening to, researching, and podcasting about music, as well as recording music of his own.
