General Background:
David A. Brewer (Associate Professor) (Ph.D. University of California, Berkeley) works on eighteenth-century literary, theatrical, and visual culture, plus the history of authorship and reading more generally. He is also fascinated by the methodological challenges of writing literary history. He is the author of The Afterlife of Character, 1726-1825 (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2005, as part of their Material Texts series) and the recipient of a Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities. His current book project, "The Work of Attribution in the Age of Anonymous Publication," investigates the uses to which authorial names were put in the eighteenth-century Anglophone world. His current teaching revolves around questions of how best to think about the changing resonance (and pleasures) of literary form across time and space.
