Biography

A.B., Princeton; Ph.D., Columbia

Professor Matthew Buckley specializes in early modern and modern drama and theatre. His work focuses on the drama’s historical relations to media and political revolutions, mass culture and modern identity. His first book, Tragedy Walks the Streets (2006, Johns Hopkins University Press), is a study of the theatrical political culture of the French Revolutionary period and its role in the emergence of modern dramatic form. He has published on melodrama and media in Victorian Studies and has an article on Coleridge and Revolutionary news forthcoming in Studies in Romanticism. He is currently working on projects that explore nineteenth-century drama’s responses to the rise of mass media and seventeenth-century theatre’s changing conceptions of embodied representation.
