   Picture of Deborah Logan
  


I was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania. After graduating from Hamilton College (BA 1988) and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (MA 1992; PhD. 1997), I began teaching English at Western Kentucky University, specializing in Victorian literature and culture. I'm associated with the Martineau Society and the Harriet Martineau Sociological Society and serve as editor of Martineau Society Newsletter and The Victorian Newsletter. Current projects include a volume on Florence Nightingale's political influence, a study of the nineteenth-century "Irish Question," and a book assessing Harriet Martineau's nonfiction writing.
