Gordon Fraser

I am a lecturer and presidential fellow in American Studies, and I specialize in the study of nineteenth-century literature, print culture, and the history of science. My scholarship has appeared in academic journals such as PMLA, American Quarterly, J19, and the Journal of American Studies. I have also written for popular venues, such as the Washington Post, the National Post of Canada, and Lapham's Quarterly.

My first book, Star Territory: Printing the Universe in Nineteenth-Century America, was published by the University of Pennsylvania Press.

I welcome enquiries from prospective PhD students aiming to pursue literary projects related to print culture, book history, or the history of science in the United States. I am particularly interested in projects that engage some part of the long nineteenth century, or the period spanning from about 1789 to 1914.
