Tim Jackson is a CLIR (Council on Library and Information Resources) Postdoctoral Fellow in Academic Libraries in the Digital Initiatives and Special Collections Department. He is contributing to the Walt Whitman Archive through editorial projects focusing on Whitman’s Civil War writings, and assisting in Archives & Special Collections.
Tim earned his Ph.D. in editorial studies from the Editorial Institute at Boston University. His dissertation, Selected Lyrics and Dramatic Verse of Edna St. Vincent Millay: A Critical Edition, addresses Millay’s (1892-1950) activity in revising her poems and the publication history of her works. Textual variants in manuscripts, proofs, and print editions are recorded. Essentially, the dissertation provides a reliable text for these poems, attending to the multiple stages of drafting and publishing involved in her writing.
