Andrea Zemgulys is associate professor of English Literature and Women's and Gender Studies. She is the author of Modernism and the Locations of Literary Heritage (Cambridge University Press, 2008), a study of major modernist texts within a culture of literary memorialization and architectural preservation in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century Britain. Her current project concerns representations of poverty in the works of Virginia Woolf, Jean Rhys, and Mina Loy. She teaches courses on modernist women writers (WS/English 315 "The Women of 1922") and on social-reformist women in turn-of-the-twentieth-century London ("S and the City").
