Rachel Crawford received her PhD
from the University of Washington in 1989. She teaches the British
Long Eighteenth Century, with emphasis on the Romantic decades;
Gender and Sexualities; and Critical Analysis, a departmental
Methods course. Her publications include articles, book chapters,
and collaborative editorial work, while her book, a monograph on
British poetry and landscape (Cambridge 2002), won the National
Jesuit Award; her current book project focuses on the potential
role of cartographic analysis in literature. Her primary vision,
however, is for the fullest potential in student-teacher
relationships, especially to enable students to understand the
meaning of the scholarly life.
