Amy Campion
Amy Campion, Instructor, received her B.A. from Dartmouth College, and her M.A. in Poetry Writing from Boston University. She is currently a doctoral candidate in English at the University of California, Berkeley. Her dissertation, "Scandalized Selves: The Figure of the Author in Eliza Haywood, Laurence Sterne, Charlotte Smith, and Lord Byron," investigates self-representation and constructions of authorship in the work of four authors of the long eighteenth century. She considers their representations of self in relation to models of personal identity in Lockean philosophy, in eighteenth-century acting theory, and in the literature of their contemporaries. She gave a talk on Mina Loy at the 2003 American Literature Association Symposium on 20th Century American Poets. Her poems have appeared in several journals, including Provincetown Arts and Agni. At U.C. Berkeley, she taught composition and eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literature surveys and edited the English Department newsletter. She has also taught a seminar on the history and theory of literary satire.
