  • Notes on Contributors

Jce Bray is Lecturer in the School of English, University of Sheffield, U.K., and one of the founding members of the Stirling Textual Culture group. His main research interests are in narrative style and the eighteenth-century novel. He is the author of The Epistolary Novel: Representations of Consciousness (Routledge 2003) and the co-editor (with Miriam Handley and Anne C. Henry) of Ma(r)king The Text: The Presentation of Meaning on the Literary Page (Ashgate 2000). His new monograph, The Female Reader in the Late Eighteenth-Century Novel, will be published by Routledge in 2008.

Sally Bushell is Senior Lecturer and co-director of The Wordsworth Centre at Lancaster University. Her primary research interests are in Wordsworth studies: she is author of Re-reading The Excursion (Ashgate 2002) and co-editor of the forthcoming final volume of the Cornell Series, The Excursion by William Wordsworth (Cornell University Press 2007). More broadly, she is interested in critical interpretation of draft materials and in bringing together textual and literary critical practice. This is reflected in the forthcoming study: Text as Process: Exploring Creative Composition in Wordsworth, Tennyson and Emily Dickinson (University Press of Virginia 2008). She is currently working on a pilot project for Wordsworth's Electronic Manuscripts funded by the AHRC and in collaboration with The Wordsworth Trust.

Ruth Evans is Professor in the Department of English Studies, University of Stirling, Scotland. She has co-authored (with Jocelyn Wogan-Browne, Nicholas Watson, and Andrew Taylor) The Idea of the Vernacular: An Anthology of Middle English Literary Theory, 1280–1530 (Penn State Press 1999) and edited (with Helen Fulton and David Matthews) Medieval Cultural Studies: Essays in Honour of Stephen Knight (University of Wales Press 2006). She is currently editing a volume of essays on sexuality in the middle ages for Berg's History of Sexuality series and is writing a monograph on Chaucer and memory. [End Page 164]

John Frow is Professor of English Language and Literature and Chair of the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne. He is the author of a number of books including Cultural Studies and Cultural Value (Clarendon Press 1995) and, most recently, Genre (Routledge 2006). He is currently working on a project on literary character and historical forms of personhood.

William Kuskin is Associate Professor of English at the University of Colorado at Boulder. He is the author of Symbolic Caxton: Literary Culture and Print Capitalism (University of Notre Dame Press 2008) and the editor of Caxton's Trace: Studies in the History of English Printing (University of Notre Dame Press 2006). He is currently working on a book about fifteenth-century textual culture and Sidney, Spenser, and Shakespeare, as well as a monograph on the graphic novel form.

Kim Christian Schrøder (http://www.ruc.dk/komm/Ansatte/vip/kimsc/) is Professor of Communication Studies at Roskilde University, Denmark. He is co-author of The Language of Advertising (Blackwell 1985) and Researching Audiences (Arnold 2003). He has published widely on the theoretical and methodological aspects of qualitative audience research in a discourse-analytical perspective. His current research deals with newspaper readers in the media landscape of the digital age, and with methodological issues around the quantitative/qualitative divide.

Clifford Siskin is Professor of English at New York University. His subject is the interrelations of literary, social, and technological change, with a particular emphasis on print culture: both its historical formation and its current remediation in the face of the electronic and the digital. Links between past and present inform all of his work, from his sequencing of the genres of subjectivity (The Historicity of Romantic Discourse, Oxford) to his recovery of literature's role in the formation of the modern disciplines (The Work of Writing: Literature and Social Change in Britain 1700–1830, Johns Hopkins University Press). His latest book asks when and how the central genre of Enlightenment became the thing that we now love to blame: the SYSTEM (forthcoming from Chicago University Press). Professor Siskin is also co-editor, with Anne Mellor, of the new Palgrave-Macmillan monograph series, Enlightenment, Romanticism and the Cultures of Print.

Holger Schott Syme is Assistant Professor...
