Corey Risinger is a Visiting Lecturer in New York University’s Department of English.
Her research traces the intersections between archival studies, literary and feminist theory, and eighteenth- and nineteenth-century studies.
In her book project, Archival Living: Recording Self and Sensation in the Long-Nineteenth Century, she illuminates fictional and historical women’s early, curatorial labors. Her chapters feature de facto archivists like Victorian maidservant Hannah Cullwick, maternal petitioners to the London Foundling Hospital, and sentimental heroine Pamela Andrews.
