Biographical Sketch
I am an English professor at Western Michigan University (Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA), who specializes in eighteenth-century studies; British and Irish Romanticism; sensibility, sentimentalism, and the gothic; Jane Austen and other women writers; gender studies and queer theory; literary and critical theory; film adaptations of literary texts.

I came to contribute to Wikipedia as a result of my friend and former colleague Adrianne Wadewitz, who continues to inspire so many of us even in her absence.

Conflict of Interest
I have published peer-reviewed scholarly work on sensibility, sentimentalism, and Romanticism in British and Irish literature, much of which focuses on women writers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: Jane Austen, Frances Burney, Sydney Owenson (Lady Morgan), Madame de Stael, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Ann Batten Cristall, and the Marquis de Sade.
