Victorian literature and Critical Theory
|
|
Anna Kornbluh’s research and teaching center on Victorian literature and Critical Theory. Her manuscript-in-progress, tentatively titled ‘To Realize Capital’: Financial and Libidinal Economies in Mid-Victorian Realist Form, studies narrative modalities that critically engage the historical coincidence of the financialization of capitalism and the rhetorical construct of libidinal economy, and includes chapters on Middlemarch, Great Expectations, The Way We Live Now, and Capital. For the 2008-2009 academic year, her courses include Sex and the City, a seminar in Victorian literature; Materialisms, a survey of British Literature 1660-1900; and Novelties, a senior seminar on theories of the novel.
