Stephen WittekStephen Wittek is Assistant Professor of Literature at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. His research focuses on the media of conversion and the early modern English stage. He is the author of The Media Players: Shakespeare, Middleton, Jonson, and the Idea of News (University of Michigan Press, 2015). Other projects of note include a new edition of The Merchant of Venice for Internet Shakespeare Editions (co-edited with Janelle Jenstad) and the digital humanities project, DREaM, a database that indexes 44,000+ early modern texts, thus making long-neglected material more amenable for use with large-scale analytical tools (with Stéfan Sinclair and Matt Milner).
