Zachary Hines is Assistant Professor in the Department of English at The Ohio State University, where he specializes in medieval literature, manuscript culture, and the history of books. As a scholar of premodern reading and writing, Zach discovers in old books direct connections between material texts and literary forms and explains how their postmedieval reception informed antiquarian, institutional, and scholarly perceptions of the English Middle Ages. He is also a Senior Fellow in the Andrew W. Mellon Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography, faculty affiliate in the OSU Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, and on the Board of Directors for TEAMS, the Teaching Association for Medieval Studies. On Ohio State’s Lima campus, Zach teaches first-year writing, historical surveys in British Literature, and upper-division courses on medieval and early modern literary culture.
