Dr. Emily Stanback

Associate Professor

Bio

Emily B. Stanback works at the intersections of British Romantic literature, disability studies, the health humanities, and the histories of medicine and science. Her book, The Wordsworth-Coleridge Circle and the Aesthetics of Disability (Palgrave Macmillan 2016) argues for the importance of disability to authors of the Wordsworth-Coleridge circle. By examining texts in a variety of genres鈥時anging from self-experimental medical texts to lyric poetry to metaphysical essays鈥晅he book demonstrates the extent to which non-normative embodiment was central to Romantic-era thought and Romantic-era aesthetics.

She is co-director of The Gravestone Project, a digital humanities collective; she is currently working on two projects, one on disability, time, and form in Romantic literature, and one on disability and race in the long eighteenth century.
