MARTHA J. CRAIG
Professor Craig came to Bradley from Ball State University in Indiana in 1999. She
received her undergraduate degree from Stanford in history, her M.A. from The College of William and
Mary, and her Ph.D. from Purdue University in Renaissance Literature. Her special fields are Shakespeare
and gender studies, and her doctoral dissertation analyzes the construction, subversion, and
accommodations of feminine virtue in Shakespeare's England and in the literature of Sidney, Spenser,
Shakespeare, and Leigh. While at Purdue and Ball State Professor Craig taught World, British, and
American literature, creative writing, expository writing, Shakespeare, and Gender Studies, and at
Bradley she has taught Shakespeare, English 101 and 300, and Western Civ. She is a delegate to the
University Senate and a liaison between the English Department and the Cullom-Davis Library. She is also
serving as a dramaturge for the Bradley Theatre Department's March, 2001 production of King Lear,
and an enthusiastic, if frequently absent, member of the Bradley University Film Group.

Genre; "`Write it upon the walles of your houses': Dorothy Leigh's The Mothers Blessing"
in Linda S. Colemans's Women's Life-Writing: Finding Voice/Building Community; and "Shakespeare in
China," a review in Renaissance Quarterly. She is currently working on an essay comparing Portia
in The Merchant of Venice to Venetian Courtesan and poet Veronica Franco, against a backdrop of
Shakespeare=s Italian plays, and an essay on cross-dressing/crossing taboos in Merchant and Twelfth
Night. She is also writing, with her daughter, The College Guide to Boys, and (solo) a memoir
of her life as a faculty child in Princeton, N.J.
