Faculty Research and Scholarship
Postcolonial TextPostcolonial Text is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal that features articles on postcolonial literature and cultural studies, interviews, book reviews, poetry, and short stories. It is the first fully online, refereed journal for postcolonial studies to come out of Canada, published on an Open Access basis to enable a worldwide readership. It was founded by Ranjini Mendis, faculty member of Kwantlen's English Department, with generous assistance of Dr. John Willinsky, Director of the Public Knowledge Project at UBC and Stanford. As an open access e-journal, Postcolonial Text uses the electronic medium to critically expand and intensify the critical exchange between postcolonial critics, theorists, and artists in the North and the South. We hope you enjoy and benefit from our "home-grown," free-to-read international scholarly journal, at http://postcolonial.org. |

My essay "Willoughby's Apology" on the role of apologies in Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility was published in 2009. It can be found at this link: http://www.jasna.org/persuasions/on-line/vol30no1/carroll.html More recently I have written on Milton's Samson Agonistes and the role of prefaces in Richardson's Pamela.

I have recently had an essay published in Writing Otherness: The Pathways of George
Gissing’s Imagination (Equilibris, 2011), edited by Christine Huguet. The
essay is entitled “The Manly Reader and His Other: Bookworms, Book Butterflies,
and Crises of Masculinity in Gissing’s ‘Spellbound’ and ‘Christopherson’.” The
essay is part of larger project on Victorian literacy, education, and
masculinity I am working on. Additionally, in April 2011, I delivered a paper
entitled “‘The Greatest Plague of Life’: National Health and the Victorian
Domestic Service Epidemic in Gissing and The Mayhews” at a conference held by
the Victorian Studies Association of Western Canada in Banff, Alberta. Ryan Stephenson ryan.stephenson@kwantlen.ca |  Writing Otherness |
