J. Samaine Lockwood
Assistant Professor
Samaine Lockwood specializes in nineteenth-century American literature, particularly women's fiction. Currently, she is working on her book manuscript, Recollecting a Region: Gender, Tourism, and the Literature of New England, 1865-1925. In this interdisciplinary project, Lockwood examines how the rise of domestic tourism in New England shaped and was shaped by women's regionalist texts, from novels to collections of old china. She argues that tourism and the production of cultural texts about it opened up opportunities for middle-class women writers to rethink gender and its relationship to time, history, region, and nation. Lockwood received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Davis and has taught there as well as at the University of the Pacific. She offers a range of courses in nineteenth-century American literature and women's literature.Email:
