Katie Trumpener, Emily Sanford Professor of Comparative Literature and English and director of graduate studies in comparative literature at Yale University

This graduate seminar is in English and open to all graduate students.

Katie Trumpener is one of the most innovative scholars in the field of comparative cultural studies. Her research spans the modern period (the late 18th century to the present) and explores a broad range of topics, from the history of the British and European novel to Anglophone fiction (especially from Scotland, Ireland, and Canada); from European film history to visual culture and music; nationalism, regionalism, and traditionalism; literature and culture of World War I, World War II, and the Cold War; the history of children’s literature (18th century to the present); and female novelists.
