Audrey FOGELS is Associate Professor of American literature at the University of Paris 8-Saint Denis in Paris and belongs to the research team TransCrit. Her research focuses on nineteenth century American women’s literature and on the tensions at work in (re)-defining American identity in the long nineteenth century. She is interested in gender studies, post-colonial theory and the link between literature and politics. Her areas of interest also include the articulation between the domestic and the national as well as the cultural power of the gothic tradition. She has published articles on Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, Sarah Orne Jewett and Elizabeth B. Stoddard. Her current project is on the (de) construction of an American imagined community in Elizabeth Stoddard’s Two Men (1865).
