English Department Profile

Lindsey Eckert graduated with her Ph.D. in English and the Collaborative Program in Book History and Print Culture from the University of Toronto. She joined the HoTT program in Fall 2018.

Her research focuses on the production, circulation, and reception of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British literature. From exploring publishers’ papers and authors’ correspondence to analyzing readers’ marginalia and fan mail, her research draws heavily from original archival materials. Her most recent work seeks points of connection between Book History and New Media Studies, and she has an article on this topic forthcoming in RES.

She has a growing interest in the history of bookbinding and has received training on this topic from the University of Virginia’s renowned Rare Book School. She also has received training in text encoding, digital editions, and database design from the University of Victoria’s Digital Humanities Summer Institute.
