Benjamin D. O'Dell is assistant professor of English at Georgia Gwinnett College.

His essays have appeared in Victorian Literature and Culture and The Journal of Popular Culture. Another essay, "The Victorian Counter-Pastoral: Adam Bede as Historical Novel," is forthcoming in the journal Studies in the Novel.
