Andrew S. Brown’s research and teaching focus on literature, politics, and culture in early modern England (ca. 1550-1700). He was previously a Council Library Information Resources (CLIR) Digital Humanities Network Postdoctoral Fellow at the Jackman Humanities Institute, University of Toronto. His current book project, "Artificial Persons: Fictions of Representation in Early Modern Drama," explores how the stage contributes to the idea of authorization, people speaking and acting on behalf of others, and stands to take aspects of personhood. He is also engaged in a long-term project that employs digital humanities methods and book history to investigate early modern English literature, law, and cartography, developing a new concept of water as a vital form of infrastructure, which extends across the Atlantic and continues to shape disputes over water rights. His essays and reviews have appeared in forthcoming journals including English Literary Renaissance, Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, Studies in Philology, Eighteenth-Century Studies, and Milton Studies, as well as in the edited collection "Shakespeare and Consciousness" and online in Marginalia Review of Books.
