Jeff Dolven teaches poetry and poetics, especially of the English Renaissance, at Princeton University. His first book, Scenes of Instruction, considers poetry’s entanglement with schooling at the end of the sixteenth century; he is presently at work on a study of literary style in the sixteenth and twentieth centuries, The Senses of Style. His articles and essays—on Renaissance metrics, Edmund Spenser, Shakespeare’s reading, Fairfield Porter, player pianos, and other subjects—have appeared in such publications as English Literary Renaissance, Representations, Modern Philology, Southwest Review, Raritan, and Cabinet. His poems have appeared in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, The TLS, The Yale Review, and elsewhere, and a volume, Speculative Music, was published in the summer of 2013. He is an editor at large at Cabinet magazine.
