Corrinne Harol is a specialist in restoration and eighteenth-century literature and culture. Areas of research interest include the intersections of literary, scientific, political, and religious discourses; intellectual history and critical theory; feminist theory and gender studies. A late convert to the merits of the long eighteenth-century, she is, in the true spirit of all converts, willing to proselytize, especially on the merits of eighteenth-century modes of political and linguistic critique. She is the author of Enlightened Virginity in Eighteenth-Century Literature, and her current book project analyzes the relationship between literature and politics in writings about the Revolution of 1688. Forthcoming articles on that project include "Misconceiving the Heir: Mind and Matter in the Warming Pan Propaganda" (in Vital Matters, U of Toronto Press, 2011), “Whig Ballads and the Past Passive Jacobite,” (forthcoming in the Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies) and “The Passion of Oroonoko: Passive Obedience, the Royal Slave, and Aphra Behn’s Baroque Realism” (forthcoming in ELH).
