Judson M. Bemis Professor of the Humanities

English

Jared Richman received his MA from the University of York (UK) and his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. His teaching and research center on the literature and culture of Britain's Long Eighteenth Century (1660-1832). He teaches courses on disability, satire, British Romanticism, radicalism, the Gothic tradition, Atlantic studies, and comics and graphic narrative. Professor Richman's work has appeared in such journals as Disability Studies Quarterly, Essays in Romanticism, European Romantic Review, Eighteenth-Century Studies, Eighteenth Century Theory and Interpretation, and Studies in English Literature. He has published on disability and poetic form, the works of William Blake, the fiction of Charlotte Smith and Mary Shelley, John Thelwall's elocutionary theories, and the poetry of Anna Seward. He is currently finishing a manuscript entitled "Transatlantic Realms": British Romanticism and the Idea of America, 1780-1832.

Professor Richman's research has been supported by fellowships from the Library of Congress, the Lewis Walpole Library, Gale-Cenage, the Pew Charitable Trusts, the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies, the Folger Shakespeare Library, the Huntington Library, and the Library Company of Philadelphia. He was recently an M.C. Lang Fellow in Book History, Bibliography, and Humanities at the University of Virginia's Rare Book School. His latest project traces the relationship between nascent elocutionary theories of the Enlightenment and disability in Anglo-American culture.
