Jessie Dubreuil
Colket Reading, Rhetoric & 1st
I received my undergraduate and masters degrees from Stanford University and my Ph.D. from the University of Virginia. I specialize in nineteenth- and twentieth-century British and American literature, with a particular focus on transatlantic Romanticism and its relationship to modern and postmodern poetic practice. My research and teaching concentrate on the rhetoric of enchantment in the work of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Edgar Allan Poe, and Laura Riding, among others, and on writing and critical thinking across the curriculum. At Colorado College, I have taught on international short story and will offer courses in the First Year Experience program as well as on writing, rhetoric, and critical reading and analysis in the disciplines. Before joining the Colorado College community, I taught literature, writing, and rhetoric at the University of Virginia and Rice University.
