Biography
Nancy L. Paxton, Professor of English at NAU, regularly teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on nineteenth- and twentieth-century British literature, women's writing in English, feminist theory, colonial and post-colonial literature in English, and autobiography. Her recent publications include: Writing under the Raj: Gender, Race, and Rape in the British Colonial Imagination, 1830-1947 (Rutgers, 1999), which surveys popular literature about India as well as better known works like Kipling's Kim and Forster's A Passage to India, and a collection of essays co-edited with Lynne Hapgood, called Outside Modernism: In Pursuit of the British Novel, 1900-1930 (Palgrave, 2000). She is also the author of George Eliot and Herbert Spencer: Feminism, Evolutionism, and the Reconstruction of Gender (Princeton, 1989) and numerous essays on Victorian and Modernist fiction in scholarly journals and edited collections. She is currently working on a book-length project on literary censorship which will include chapters on Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, Katherine Mansfield, Rebecca West, Radclyffe Hall, and other twentieth-century writers.
