Research

Lisa Hager's logo
My research centers around the latter half of the nineteenth-century, particularly the 1890s. My dissertation explores the New Woman's relationship to the Victorian family. The coursework I have completed at the University of Florida has focused on both nineteenth-century British literature as well as literary theory, with specific focus on feminist theory. I also have a practical and theoretical interest in digital writing environments and hypertext.

Hypertext Essays
Serial Essay - This hypertext essay was written as part of Julian Wolfreys' graduate seminar on Derrida and Cixous. I choose hypertext as the medium in which to write this essay in order to enact the unfinished-ness and connectivity of both Derrida and Cixous's work. This essay seeks to allow for the event at every moment by allowing the reader join with the author in constructing the text.
   
Shut Open Out - This essay responds to Shelley Jackson's hypertext work Patchwork Girl; or, a Modern Monster by Mary/Shelley & Herself.
   
The Labyrinth - In this essay, Julie Sinn and I respond rather unusually to Jack Kolb's hypertext essay Socrates in the Labyrinth.
