Elizabeth Fekete Trubey (PhD Northwestern University) teaches and writes about early and nineteenth-century American literature, with particular emphasis on gender and problems of identity. Specifically, she has taught couses on the 1850s, sentimental fiction, early American novels, gender in the 19th century, women's fiction between the Civil War and World War II, and representations of the Holocaust. Her dissertation, "'I felt like the girls in books': Sentimental Readership in America, 1850-1870", focused on sentimental fiction and nineteenth-century women readers, and she has published articles about Warner's The Wide, Wide World and Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. She is currently working on a book about sentimentalism and slavery in the American South, "Poor Women! Poor Slaves!: Sentiment and Slavery in the South." She is also a WCAS Adviser.
