William E. Engel is the Nick B. Williams Professor of English at The University of the South: Sewanee. He has published seven books on literary history and applied emblematics, two previously with Routledge, Chiastic Designs (2016) and Early Modern Poetics (2016), and has contributed chapters to several Routledge volumes, including The Birth and Death of the Author (2020), The Routledge Handbook of Shakespeare and Memory (2017), and Forgetting in Early Modern English Literature and Culture (2004).
"""Engel makes a compelling, highly erudite intervention, using the lifework of John Day.... Engel's mastery of the scholarship of early modern book history, together with the other scholarly disciplines that he imaginatively brings to bear, is evidenced by the extensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter. Most insightful, however, are the sustained material and iconographic analyses of Engel's primary sources.... Engel's arguments are lucid and carefully presented."" --Renaissance Studies 36.4 (Sept 2022) ""...provides valuable insights into the practical and material side of collective book production in early modern England. [...] Engel's book proves to be a highly impressive and valuable contribution to the fields of authorship and material studies."" --Anglistik 34.3 (2023): 256-57."
