Eugenia Zuroski Jenkins

Dr. Eugenia (Gena) Zuroski, Editor

ECF Editor Gena Zuroski specializes in eighteenth-century British literature and culture. Gena received her PhD (2005) and MA from Brown University and her BA from Columbia University (Summa Cum Laude). Her research and teaching interests include genealogies of the modern subject, orientalism, material culture, and the proliferation of various forms of fiction in the eighteenth century.

Her book A Taste for China: English Subjectivity and the Prehistory of Orientalism (2013) argues that chinoiserie played an integral role in the formation of modern English subjectivity. Her new book, A Funny Thing: Eighteenth-Century Literature Undisciplined, is about prehistories of the uncanny and examines how “funny forms” of the long eighteenth century unsettle culture and animate unexpected dimensions of subjective experience. A Funny Thing is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press.

Gena has been the ECF Editor-in-Chief since 1 July 2015.
