Overview

  • James Krasner approaches his field of British Victorian Literature from an interdisciplinary angle. His first book analyzes Victorian and Modernist nature writing in the context of visual perception theory and Darwinian biology. His second book investigates the operation of touch in domestic space, through an analysis of phantom limb, medical touch, skin disorders, hoarding, and other embodied phenomena. Recently, he has written articles that engage with craft theory, tourism studies, political definitions of torture and legal definitions of homelessness. He is also interested in the development of the gothic, the cult of Sherlock Holmes, and the social operation of secondary school literature curriculs.
