Julie Carlson is a Professor in the English Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her central interests include: British Romanticism; early nineteenth-century British theater; the Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley family; and theories of race and sexuality. She is the author of England's First Family of Writers: Mary Wollstonecraft, William Godwin, Mary Shelley; In the Theatre of Romanticism: Coleridge, Nationalism, Women; guest editor of Domestic/Tragedy (South Atlantic Quarterly) and various articles on romantic drama and theater. A book that Dr. Carlson recently co-edited with Elisabeth Weber, Speaking about Torture, will be out from Fordham University Press this spring.
