Anne DeWitt
Candidate Statement

Anne DeWitt's research interests include science in Victorian periodicals, religion, readers, and reviewing. She is a Clinical Associate Professor at New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study and is the author of Moral Authority, Men of Science, and the Victorian Novel (Cambridge, 2013). While periodicals were important to this book, they are even more central to her two ongoing projects: a reception history of best-selling religious fiction in the 1880s, and a study of periodical poetry about evolution. She has regularly attended RSVP since 2008. This would be her second term on the RSVP Board.
