Poe and Women: Recognition and Revision, Edited by Amy Branam Armiento and Travis Montgomery
Review in the Journal of Gender Studies
"This engaging collection redresses the balance of Poe studies to consider his work from the perspective of women, those in his works and those reading them. . . . [It] offers a welcome emphasis on the irrepressibility of women in his work who ‘die but do not stay dead’"
-- Sara Williams, University of Hull
Gender, Poetry, and the Form of Thought in Later Medieval Literature,Edited by Jennifer Jahner and Ingrid Nelson
Review in the Journal of English and Germanic Philology:
Very much in the spirit of Robertson's many impacts on our field, this collection opens a range of fascinating apertures into the medieval literary world that promise to be useful, both to fellow scholars and in a variety of literature classrooms.

The essays in this beautifully presented book will be essential reading for anyone interested in late-medieval vernacular theology and its reception, both in England and beyond.

Wife of Bath in Afterlife: Ballads to Blake, byBetsy Bowden
Bowden delves into each case study so expansively that at the end of reading the book, the reader has been immersed in many different eighteenth-century cultural worlds. This is an immensely learned and valuable book that dares to be different and, as a result, breaks new ground.
