Biography
Natasha Tessone’s research and teaching interests include 18th- and 19th-century literature, Romantic poetry, theories of the novel, Irish and Scottish literature, the Scottish Enlightenment, nationalism in literature, and postcolonial theory. Her articles and reviews have appeared in such journals as ELH, Studies in Romanticism, Studies in the Novel, Eighteenth-Century Fiction, and Èire-Ireland. Her book, Disputed Titles: Ireland, Scotland, and the Novel of Inheritance, 1798-1832 (Bucknell University Press, 2015), argues for the centrality of inheritance—often impeded, disrupted inheritance—to the novel’s rise to preeminence in Britain during the Romantic period.
