Schoolhouse Gothic
Haunted Hallways and Predatory Pedagogues in Late Twentieth-Century American Literature and Scholarship
The Schoolhouse Gothic draws on Gothic metaphors—curses of power inequities, schools as traps—to interrogate American education. It suggests something sinister lies behind the academy's benevolent exterior, producing paranoia, violence, and monstrosity.

Triumphant Bodies
Sexual Political Conquest in Women’s Published Writing, 1660-1763
This study explores how professional female authors from Aphra Behn to Frances Brooke used a pliant vocabulary of sexuality and politics. This blending of language allowed women to provocatively challenge and rearticulate the terms of power and authority.

Female-Voiced Nightingales
