Elizabeth S.
Goodstein PhD
Bio
Elizabeth Goodstein's research focuses on the ways modernity and modern subjectivity have been represented, understood, and experienced in nineteenth- and twentieth-century European literature and culture.
Located at the intersections between literary studies, critical theory, and intellectual history, her work draws on her training in the classical and modern rhetorical traditions to synthesize the strategies of close textual analysis, historical interpretation, and philosophical reflection, exploring the relations between history and identity, language and experience from an interdisciplinary perspective.
Professor Goodstein is one of the founding co-directors of Emory University's Europe and Beyond Project.
