Jon Hegglund

Biography

Jon Hegglund received his Ph.D. in English from University of California, Santa Barbara in 1998. Before coming to WSU, he taught for four years at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, CT.

Publications

• "Ulysses and the Rhetoric of Cartography," forthcoming in Twentieth-Century Literature
• "Abstracting Africa: British Popular Cartography and the 'Dark Continent' 1870-1940," a slide set and on-line exhibit for the Newberry Library, Chicago

• "Defending the Realm: Domestic Space and Mass Cultural Contamination in Howards End and An Englishman's Home," in English Literature in Transition (1997)

Research Interests

Prof. Hegglund is currently at work on a book-length manuscript about the relationship between the spatial aesthetics of the modernist novel and the emergence of a "scientific" geography in late nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain. He is particularly interested in how both fiction and cartography use imaginative elements to connect local, regional, national, and international senses of cultural identity.

Teaching Interests

Prof. Hegglund's primary teaching interests are in twentieth-century British and Anglophone postcolonial literatures. He also teaches courses in film studies and critical theory.
