Author Information

The Author: Catharine Walker Bergström received her Ph.D. from Gothenburg University (Sweden) and is a senior lecturer of English at University West in Trollhättan. To aid students in contextualizing literary works they study, she has co-authored an interactive teaching text entitled Texts and Events: Cultural Narratives of Britain and the United States, which interweaves literary and historical narratives. It also discourages readers from viewing any text as finite by providing links to various websites.
