Interview with Mary Bly

Tue, 2 May 2006 19:00:00 CST

Join hosts Linda Esser, Denice Adkins and Diane Velasquez with their guest Dr. Mary Bly, Associate Professor, Fordham University. Dr. Bly writes historical fiction as Eloisa James. Her latest novel, The Taming of the Duke, received a starred review in Booklist. Dr. Bly's impressive academic credentials include an undergraduate degree from Harvard University, a Master of Philosophy from Oxford University and a Ph. D. from Yale. Currently, she is an Associate Professor at Fordham University and Director of Graduate Studies. Her teaching and research interests center on Shakespeare. A reader review on amazon.com describes Dr. Bly's book, Queer Virgins and Virgin Queens on the Early Modern Stage as "...a fascinating job of delving into the use of (bawdy) puns on the Reniassance stage. Her style of writing is vibrant and keeps the reader's attention throughout, and yet is endlessly informative. In the process of examining the puns, and the language of the time, she manages to give the reader a very clear sense of sixteenth/seventeenth century society." Readers of Eloisa James' historical romance novels are no less enthusiastic. Her writing is described as "witty", "smart", "fun" and "romantic".
