Julia M. Wright

I am the author or editor of fifteen books. Much of my work involves gender and nationalism in British and Irish literature from 1780-1850; I'm especially interested in how literature provided a forum for debating various social issues, and the role of medical ideas and oceans in those debates. I have extended my work on gender and the nation into television studies, including an essay on state-formation in Deadwood and a book on masculinity and the gothic in recent US television. I have also published on university issues, including research policy: these publications have appeared in the MLA journal Profession, University Affairs, and various academic blogs.
