JoEllen DeLucia is Professor of English at Central Michigan University. Her publications include A Feminine Enlightenment: British Women Writers and the Philosophy of Progress, 1759-1820 (EUP 2015) and an essay collection, co-edited with Juliet Shields, Migration and Modernities: The State of Statelessness, 1750-1850 (EUP. 2018). She has also just completed a four-volume primary source collection, Gothic Print Culture, 1789-1900 (Routledge, expected 2026), co-edited with Jennifer Camden. In addition to these larger projects, she has published several essays and book chapters on women writers, moral philosophy, and print culture. Juliet Shields is Professor of English and Kahn Chair in the Humanities at Southern Methodist University. She works on literature of the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Anglophone Atlantic world, with emphases in print culture, diaspora studies, settler colonialism, and women’s writing. Her past books related to the project proposed here include Mary Prince, Slavery, and Print Culture in the Anglophone Atlantic World (2021) and Nation and Migration: the Making of British Atlantic Literature (2016).

Migration and Modernities radically reimagines the boundaries of our discipline and canon by boldly repositioning global narratives of mobility at the heart of modernity.
