David E. Nye was born in Boston and spent his childhood in rural Pennsylvania, and became a fan of the Red Sox and the Pirates. He was educated at Amherst College, where he sang in several groups, and he completed a PhD in American Studies at the University of Minnesota, where he sang in a Renaissance ensemble on the side. He has taught in the US, Britain, Spain (on a Fulbright), and Denmark, where he now lives and has been a member of several choirs. His more than 220 publications include more than 25 books and 101 articles, in the fields of history, non-fiction, and literature.
