About:

In her ongoing postdoctoral research, Nikolina Hatton investigates early modern Englishwomen’s use of biblical forms, characters, and narratives in their manuscript poetry. By examining the works of poets such as Anne Southwell, Hester Pulter, and Lucy Hutchinson, she explores the relationship between form, devotional practice, and political expression. Her doctoral research examined the increasing prevalence of material objects in prose texts from the romantic period and those objects’ effects on narrative development and form. She teaches courses on seventeenth- and nineteenth-century literature, on the history of women’s writing, and on manuscript and print culture.
