Theresa M. Kelley, Marjorie and Lorin Tiefenthaler Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, writes about and teaches romanticism, aesthetics, visual culture, the philosophy and history of natural science, and contemporary narrative. She understands these inquiries as they thread through literary forms and rhetoric in the literature of modernity. She is the author of Clandestine Marriage; Botany and Romantic Culture (Johns Hopkins UP, 2012; winner of the British Society for Literature and Science Book Prize), Reinventing Allegory (Cambridge UP, 1997; winner of the South Central Modern Language Association Annual Award for the Best Scholarly Book), Wordsworth’s Revisionary Aesthetics (Cambridge UP, 1988), and the edited and co-edited collections and special issues Romantic Woman Writers: Voices and Countervoices, Romantic Visualities, Romantic Frictions and Romantic Performances. Kelley is at present working on Reading for the Future, which assesses narrative impediments to imagining the future in late Enlightenment and Romantic writing, and Color Trouble, a study of Romantic era color theory and practice.
Deidre Lynch is Ernest Bernbaum Professor of Literature at Harvard University. Her publications include Loving Literature: A Cultural History (U of Chicago P, 2015), The Economy of Character: Novels, Market Culture, and the Business of Inner Meaning (U of Chicago P, 1998; winner of the Modern Language Association Prize for a First Book), the edited collections Janeites: Austen’s Disciples and Devotees (Princeton U, 2000) and Cultural Institutions of the Novel (co-edited with William B. Warner; Duke UP, 1996), and editions of Jane Austen’s Persuasion and Mansfield Park and Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.
