Judith Scholes is a PhD Candidate in English at the University of British Columbia, and Count Director for Canadian Women in the Literary Arts (CWILA). Her dissertation, “Emily Dickinson, Material Rhetoric, and the Ethos of Nineteenth-Century American Women’s Poetry,” explores the delivery and reception of women’s poetry in the nineteenth-century United States, especially in periodicals between 1840–1870. She is interested in theorizing the ways in which the material aspects of editing, publishing, and circulating poetry rhetorically shape its ethos, and how understanding the “material rhetoric” of nineteenth-century American print culture helps us better situate Emily Dickinson’s work in relation to her peers.
