Biographical Sketch |
|
| My research interests include, most broadly, the literature and culture of eighteenth-century England and the historical reception of literary genres. I focus on the relations between literary genres and social trends; the conventions (aesthetic and cultural) that frame individual acts of authorship; and evolutions in theories of fiction. For the past several years, I have explored the relationship between eighteenth-century drama and the novel and, as a result, the evolving relationship between print culture and theatrical performance. | |

Description of Research |
|
Summary Statement of Research Interests |
|
| My first book, Eighteenth-Century Authorship and the Play of Fiction (Routledge 2009), considers connections between the novel and drama through a focus on women writers who were simultaneously novelists and playwrights. My current project continues to examine eighteenth-century connections between print culture and theatrical performance by investigating how and why eighteenth-century novelists appropriated Shakespearean characters and themes. | |
