Claudia L. Johnson joined the faculty at Princeton in 1994
and now serves as Department Chair. She specializes in eighteenth-
and early nineteenth-century literature, with a particular emphasis
on the novel. Her books include Jane Austen: Women, Politics,
and the Novel (Chicago, 1988), Equivocal Beings: Politics,
Gender and Sentimentality in the 1790s (Chicago, 1995), and
The Cambridge Companion to Mary Wollstonecraft (Cambridge,
2002), along with editions of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park
(Norton, 1998), Sense and Sensibility (Norton, 2002), and
Northanger Abbey (Oxford, 2003). Her research has been
supported by major fellowships such as the NEH and the Guggenheim.
She is now finishing a book about author-love called Jane
Austen’s Cults and Cultures, which traces permutations of
"Jane mania" from 1817 to the present, and also working on another
called Raising the Novel, which explores modern efforts to
create a novelistic canon by elevating novels to keystones of high
culture.
Clara Tuite is Senior Lecturer in English, University of
Melbourne. She is the author of Romantic Austen: Sexual Politics
and the Literary Canon (Cambridge, 2002, 2008), as well as
several essays on Austen, and the co-editor, with Gillian Russell,
of Romantic Sociability: Social Networks and Literary Culture in
Britain, 1770-1840 (Cambridge, 2002, 2006).
