Biography

 Joshua Rawleigh (B.A. Gordon College, M.Sc.R. University of Edinburgh, Ph.D. Indiana University, Bloomington) is Assistant Professor of English specializing in the literature and culture of long nineteenth-century Britain. His research focuses on how religious beliefs, practices, and discourses shaped the creation of literary forms such as lyric poetry, devotional writing, and the realist novel in Romantic and Victorian Britain. His teaching emphasizes dialogue amid difference, inviting students to take interpretive risks while reading long poems and even longer novels.
