Elizabeth Hale has taught in the School of English, Communication and Theatre at UNE since June 2002. She received her PhD and MA in English literature from Brandeis University, Massachusetts, and a double BA Hons in English and Latin from the University of Otago, New Zealand.
Areas of Teaching
Her teaching interests and responsibilities at ECT include writing, introduction to literary studies, and Victorian literature.
Research interests
Elizabeth’s research interests include Victorian literature, children’s literature, the classical tradition.
She is currently developing a book-length study (which grew out of her doctoral thesis) of the treatment of classical scholars in Victorian literature, which focuses on the ways that elite intellectuals are castrated, effeminised, Gothicised, and made sickly in Victorian fiction. With Sarah Winters, of the University of Toronto, she is editing a collection of critical essays on the fiction of the children’s writer, Margaret Mahy.
