Wendy Wall is Chair and Professor of English at Northwestern University . She received her PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in 1989, with a speciality in early modern literature and culture. She is author of The Imprint of Gender: Authorship and Publication in the English Renaissance (Cornell University Press, 1993) and Staging Domesticity: Household Work and English Identity in Early Modern Drama (Cambridge University Press, 2002), which was a finalist for the James Russell Lowell prize awarded by the MLA and a 2002 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award Winner.
Professor Wall has been the recipient of several grants and awards for her teaching and research, including a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities, a 1993 Teaching Award from Mortar Board, a 1998 Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Teaching Award, the College of Arts and Sciences AT &T Research Fellowship, and the 1998-2001 Wender-Lewis Research and Teaching Professorship. She gives public lecturers in conjunction with the Chicago Shakespeare Theater and with the Newberry Library in Chicago, and has served as a trustee of the Shakespeare Association of America.
Professor Wall has published articles on topics as wide-ranging as editorial theory, gender, national identity, the history of authorship, Renaissance husbandry, female will-making, housework, theatrical practice, and Jell-O. She is currently at work on two new projects -- a study of Sidney's Astrophil and Stella in the context of how Renaissance readers were taught to navigate their way through books of different sorts (how-to manuals, cookbooks, science books and poetry); and a book tentatively entitled Reading Food: A Cultural History of Food from Shakespeare to Martha Stewart.
