 Harry Brown completed his doctorate in English at Lehigh University. His book, Injun Joe’s Ghost (University of Missouri Press 2004), examines the figure of the Native American mixed-blood in American writing. He has published articles on nineteenth-century American fiction in The Journal of American and Comparative Culture and Paradoxa, as well as original fiction in Blueline and The Mississippi Review. His teaching and research interests include American Romanticism, Native American Literature, and darker cultural strains such as the Gothic and the literature of cannibalism. More recently, he has ventured into video game studies, publishing essays in the journal Works and Days and in a forthcoming collections. His work in this area considers the impact of digital technology on narrative genres and explores the pedagogical uses of video game modifications. At DePauw he teaches American Writers; Native American Literature; American Gothic; Literature and Interpretation; Narrative, Hypertext, and Gaming; and College Writing.
