Janet Yount, Professor of English, received her B.A. from Grinnell College and her M.A. and
Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. Her research and teaching interests
center on eighteenth-century studies, with special emphasis on the novel
and drama as genres. In 1989 she received a UNH Award for Excellence in
Teaching. Her two most recent graduate courses focused on narrative theory
and on the legacy of Ian Watt’s groundbreaking study, The Rise of the
Novel (1957). Professor Yount's most recent publication is “Strange Bedfellows: Textual Transference among Samuel Richardson, Edith Wharton, and T.S. Eliot within the Modern Sexology Movement," Eighteenth-Century Life 31, no. 2 (Fall 2007): 29-59. Currently she is in the process of assembling two volumes of
twentieth-century critical, cultural, and creative response to Samuel
Richardson's Clarissa, to be published by AMS Press as part of "The
Clarissa Project." She is also a Series Editor for Becoming Modern: New
Nineteenth-Century Studies, a monograph series published by the University
Press of New England. |
