Grace Rexroth is an Assistant Teaching Professor, specializing in nineteenth-century British literature, memory studies, and print culture. Her work has appeared in Nineteenth-Century Literature, Studies in Romanticism, and English Language Notes. She is currently working towards the completion of her first book project, Imprinted Memories, which traces how changing ideas about memory—shaped by everything from the revival of medieval memory arts to post-revolutionary debates—evolved alongside major shifts in print culture, transforming how nineteenth-century literature reimagined the past and responded to the pressures of a new media age. Grace also serves as director of the internship program for the Department of English and as a liaison to Continuing Education. She teaches courses specializing in women’s writing, Romantic and Victorian literature, the interplay of memory and imagination, and genre studies including Victorian crime fiction.
