Juliette Wells
Assistant Professor, Department of English
As a teacher and scholar, I'm interested in Victorian literature, the novel, women's writing, and contemporary literature. My regular courses for the English department include English IV: Victorian Literature (fall) and Images of Women in Literature (spring). Seminars I offer every year or two include Jane Austen in Popular Culture (next in spring 2008), The Victorian Novel, Victorian Novels of Vocation, Contemporary Memoirs, and The English Novel. In spring 2008, I'm also teaching a 1-credit, 2000-level course called Jane Austen on Screen, as well as a Castle Scholars Honors Seminar (co-taught with Prof. Carolee Berg) called Disability Studies.
My recent and forthcoming publications treat topics ranging from the Brontės and the arts, to "chick lit," to adaptations of Jane Austen. For more information, click here.
My ongoing research involves the influence of the idea of "feminine accomplishment" upon the lives and writings of English and American authors in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. For titles of recent and forthcoming conference papers related to this topic, please click here.
