Maggie Nerio teaches and writes about English and American literature and culture, c. 1660-1870.

She has published articles on Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Jane Austen, Mary Wollstonecraft, George Eliot, and the American Transcendentalist Margaret Fuller. Broadly, her research explores epistolary form, the rhetoric of nineteenth-century social reform movements, and political engagement in women’s writing of the eighteenth- and nineteenth centuries.
