Personal Information
I’m Elissa Zellinger, and I’m Lecturer of English at Armstrong State University. My book project, “Lyrical Strains: 1820-1920” chronicles the simultaneous and interdependent consolidation of the modern lyric and the liberal self from 1820 to 1920. My most recent article “Stephen Crane and the Poetics of Nostalgia,” which considers Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Crane, and the social uses of poetic nostalgia, is forthcoming from Texas Studies in Literature and Language. In addition, “Edna St. Vincent Millay and the Poetess Tradition” appears in Legacy: A Journal of American Women Writers 29.2 (December 2012).
