About the author
Eric Rasmussen
77 books22 followersI am the author of the forthcoming title THE SHAKESPEARE THEFTS (Palgrave Macmillan), a part literary detective story, part Shakespearean lore that follows my efforts to catalog Shakespeare's First Folios.
I am also co-editor of the RSC Complete Works of William Shakespeare, the Norton Anthology of English Renaissance Drama, and of the works of Christopher Marlowe in the Oxford World's Classics series as well as individual plays in the Arden Shakespeare series, the Revels Plays series, and the Malone Society series. Since 1997, I have written the annual review of editions and textual studies for Shakespeare Survey. When I am not writing about the bard, I lecture about his great works as a professor of English at the University of Nevada.
He lives in Reno, Nevada.
