#introduction. I'm an English professor and interim dean of Humanities and the Arts at City College of New York (#CCNY). I'm a #Victorianist and author of two books. I work on the #VictorianNovel, #VictorianTheater, the rise of disciplines, and #interdisciplinarity. My most recent book is The Victorian Actress in the Novel and on the Stage. I am currently working on a book about the Independent Theatre Society in #FinDeSiecle London. #VictorianStudies #Victodon #LitStudies #AcademicMastodon
