Amelia Dale is the author of The Printed Reader: Gender, Quixotism, and Textual Bodies in Eighteenth-Century Britain (Bucknell UP, 2019) and articles on gender and quixotism in Studies in Eighteenth-Century Culture and elsewhere. Other recent work examines Jane Austen and the Tambora eruption and intersections between contemporary avant-garde writing and eighteenth-century print.

Paul Driskill is a third-year English literature PhD candidate at Tufts University in Massachusetts and has just begun dissertating. He is interested in the intersection of nineteenth-century science and fiction, particularly in how these two disciplines interacted to develop a new understanding of the post-Darwinian human as character, subject, and species. This focus also has implications for how we understand generic distinctions between science and literature.
Jay Rajiva is Assistant Professor of Global Anglophone Literature at Georgia State University. He is the author of Postcolonial Parabola: Literature, Tactility, and the Ethics of Representing Trauma (Bloomsbury, 2017), which analyzes literature of partition and civil war on the Indian subcontinent alongside apartheid and post-apartheid South African fiction. Working at the disciplinary intersection between postcolonial studies, trauma theory, and phenomenology, his scholarship has appeared in journals such as Twentieth-Century Literature, Journal of Postcolonial Writing, and Angelaki: Journal of the Theoretical Humanities. His next book project offers a comparative analysis of trauma and animism in contemporary Indian and Nigerian fiction.
