Miriam Wallace

Miriam L. Wallace is Professor of English and Gender Studies at New College of Florida and Chair of the Division of Humanities since 2016. She has written extensively on British writers and radical reform in the 1790s, including Revolutionary Subjects in the English “Jacobin” Novel and an essay collection Re-Viewing Thomas Holcroft , co-edited with A. A. Markley. Her current project, Speaking Subjects and Criminal Conversations, examines late-eighteenth and early nineteenth-century sites of speaking, writing, and gesture to discover legal or political writing and speaking by those formerly excluded from such “speech.” This project was supported by a Lewis Walpole Library Fellowship on “Illustrating Speech: Depicting Professional, Popular, and Illicit Public Speaking, 1780–1820.” She is co-editor of Transits: Literature, Thought, and Culture 1650-1850 series with Bucknell University Press.
