In the summer of 2007 I took a seminar on Victorian literature. I wrote two papers of note which included a writeup on the introduction to Miriam Elizabeth Burstein's book Narrating Women's History In Britain: 1770-1902. This is a clever assignment I am using with my students this semester as well.
The second was my seminar paper, which discussed queerness in Mary Elizabeth Braddon's novel Lady Audley's Secret and whether the ending of the novel is "straight" or not.
