Author Biography

Jace Gatzemeyer, The Pennsylvania State University

Jace Gatzemeyer is a second-year PhD student specializing in late 19th- and early 20th-century American fiction, especially in terms of literary modernism and its historical, sociological, and philosophical contexts. His research interests lie specifically in fictions and theories of "space and place," including critical paradigms like transnationalism, globalism/localism, human geography, and ecocriticism as well as American literary movements like "local color" writing and regionalism. His primary research project involves reinterpreting American modernism through the lens of these place-based theories with regard for the largely overlooked localist and regionalist undercurrents within the modernist imaginary. Jace has presented on a diverse range of texts and authors, from William Byrd's journals to Hemingway's novels, at conferences of the American Literature Association, the Northeast Modern Language Association, and others. He has been published in the F. Scott Fitzgerald Review.
