About the Author(s)

Professor Sean Ross Meehan is among the authors of this publication. He teaches English at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland. You can find out more about his teaching and writing interests by going here. You can browse his book on American autobiographical writing and the emergence of photographic technology, Mediating American Autobiography: Photography in Emerson, Thoreau, Douglass, and Whitman.

What he is working on now with his writing and research? Here is a description of his work in progress; perhaps you can post a comment and help him make some sense out of it–though he would tell you that Emerson would say, “we know more than we think.”

Professor Meehan also appears periodically in the form of his glog, exploring issues and experimenting with ideas from his English 101 course (Literature and Composition: Writing Machines), using the name “doctorshelley.” There he bids his hideous progeny go forth and encourages you to do the same.

Washington College students are also authors collected in this publication: this authorship includes blogs they have kept throughout their semester in English 101 and a final publication collected in the course magazine.
