Nora Martin Peterson
Nora Peterson@brown.edu
Nora Martin Peterson graduated magna cum laude from Carleton College. She has participated in a teaching exchange program with the Université de Bourgogne (Dijon) and grew up in between the U.S. and Germany. Her dissertation focuses on what she terms 'involuntary confessions of the flesh' in early modern literature. These slips, she argues, when viewed in the context of religion, the court, and witchcraft highlight the tension between the subject and society and thus contribute to the making of the early modern self. Other research interests include early modern women's writing, Heinrich von Kleist, and confession. Native speaker of German and English, near-native in French, reading knowledge of Latin and Spanish.
