Stephen Jarrod Bernard, MA, MSt, DPhil, FHEA (born 1975) is an Academic Visitor at the Faculty of English Language and Literature, University of Oxford. He studied English literature at Christ Church, Oxford, and Brasenose College, Oxford. In 2007, he won the international Review of English Studies essay prize for his first article in an academic journal.[1][2] In 2012, he won a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship, which he held in conjunction with a Junior Research Fellowship at University College, Oxford; whilst there he wrote The Literary Correspondences of the Tonsons (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2015),[3] an edition based on his doctoral thesis,[4] for which he won the international biennial MLA Morton N. Cohen Award for a Distinguished Edition of Letters (2015–16).[5][6] He was general editor and editor of poems for The Plays and Poems of Nicholas Rowe, five vols. (London: Pickering Masters, 2017), published in 2017.[7]
In 2018, he published Paper Cuts: A Memoir (London: Jonathan Cape, 2018),[8] which revealed that he had been the victim of sustained serial, clerical sexual abuse as a child, which had caused him severe mental illness which was treated with experimental ketamine infusions. After a concerted campaign by Bernard's abuser's last surviving relative, Deidre McCormack,[9] Canon Dermod Fogarty's headstone and memorial were destroyed by the Bishop of Arundel and Brighton on 24 May 2018.[10]
