Catherine Flynn is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University. Her essays have appeared in Journal of Modern Literature and the forthcoming A Handbook of Modernist Studies, edited by Jean-Michel Rabaté (2012). Her book project, Street Things: Transformations of Experience in the Modern City, reads Ulysses alongside Walter Benjamin’s Arcades Project, arguing that their innovative forms present open-ended encounters with things that are never truly owned, dissolving the boundary between the public and private and showing the self and society to be in a process of renegotiation.

Kelly Matthews is an Assistant Professor of English at Framingham State University in Framingham, Massachusetts.

Patrick W. Moran is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the English Department at Wake Forest University. He is currently completing two book manuscripts. The first, which builds upon his article in James Joyce Quarterly, explores late nineteenth- and twentieth-century literary representations of excess in relation to the cultural history of hoarding. His contributing essay on Elizabeth Bowen is part of his second study, Playing Modern. This latter project examines the ways that modernist writers refused to put away childish things; rather, they turned to the pleasures of toy theaters, butterfly hunting, kaleidoscopes and magic lanterns to rethink the relationship between realist and experimental modes of aesthetic production.
