Jonathan E. Goldman, Post-Doctoral Teaching Fellow, studies and teaches the literatures and cultures of England and the United States from the mid-nineteenth through the twentieth century.  While he focuses particularly on the writings of the modernist period, his sites of inquiry include film, critical theory, popular music, and graphic novels.  Dr. Goldman is completing his book manuscript, The Modernist Author in the Age of Celebrity, in which he argues that modernist literature is best understood as one aspect of the celebrity phenomenon that was exploding during the early decades of the twentieth century.  He is also co-editing a collection of essays titled Modernism and Celebrity, currently under consideration at Ashgate Press.  His work appears in: Novel: A Forum on Fiction(article about Joyce), Narrative (essay about Max Beerbohm, Ivy Compton-Burnett and Ronald Firbank), Modernism/modernity, The James Joyce Quarterly and New Literary History (book-review-essay), M/C: Media/Culture (article about Chaplin), and Scope(review-essay about King Kong).  He has presented his research addressing twentieth-century culture at meetings of the Modern Language Association, the Modernist Studies Association, and the International James Joyce Foundation.  Born and raised in New York City, Dr. Goldman graduated from Hunter College High School, then headed west to get his B.A. at the University of California, Berkeley.  After college he spent a few years living in Hungary and then France.  Having failed to change the world through teaching ESL and writing for local newspapers, he returned stateside to attend graduate school at Brown University, where he studied literature and culture under such scholars as Nancy Armstrong, Robert Scholes and Rita Barnard, receiving an M.A. and Ph.D. in English for his troubles.  An amateur trumpet player with experience performing ragtime and brass band music, Dr. Goldman is naturally delighted to land a full-time teaching gig in New Orleans.
