Brief
biography: Ph.D. (2006) in English from UCLA. My current project, entitled “One Great Moral Enterprise”: Literature and Education in the New England Marketplace, 1830-1845,” investigates the intersections of literature, education, and economics in antebellum New England, examining the strategies adopted by a “transcendental” circle of collaborators, including Horace Mann, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Elizabeth Peabody, and Margaret Fuller, as they attempted to carve a niche in the protean realm of the antebellum literary marketplace. An Article, "'Disorders of the Circulating Medium': Hawthorne and the Children’s Literature Market," is forthcoming in the Emerson Society Quarterly (ESQ).
