Elisa Beshero-Bondar fancies herself a Digital Romanticist, and works as Associate Professor of English at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg. She is also collaborating with students and colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh on a digital XML project to investigate how eighteenth-century English poems adapted the language and content of the published histories documenting Pacific voyages, and she is working to launch a collaborative digital scholarly edition of the collected writings of Mary Russell Mitford. Outside of HASTAC, she maintains two blogs: Confessions of a Digital Romanticist and Digital Mitford, which tell her adventures with coding and digital humanities.

Her book about women Romantic poets, titled Women, Epic, and Transition in British Romanticism, was published by the University of Delaware Press in 2011. Her published articles in ELH, Genre, Philological Quarterly, and The Wordsworth Circle have investigated the poetry of Robert Southey, Mary Russell Mitford, and Lord Byron in context with 18th- and 19th-century views of revolution, world empires, natural sciences, and theater productions. Her current projects involve researching Mary Russell Mitford's success with the royal theatres, and experimenting with TEI-XML coding to produce digital scholarly editions of Mitford’s plays.
