Katherine D. Harris, an
Assistant Professor in the
Department of English and Comparative Literature,
San José State University, specializes in Romantic-era and
nineteenth-century British literature, women’s authorship, the
literary annual, textuality and hypertextuality. Many of these
issues are addressed in her article, "Infusing
Bibliography and Book History with Hyper-Textuality: A Course
for Undergraduates," an online supplement to the print
materials. Harris’ most recent article, "Fantasies of
Containment: Archiving Moments in Cyber- and Real-Life,"
addresses the gaps among hypertextuality, hyper-archives,
digital literature and cyber-identities. Her previous article on
literary annuals establishes the genre as a distinct mode of
cultural history: ‘"Feminizing the Textual Body: Women and their
Literary Annuals in Nineteenth-Century Britain" (Publications
of the Bibliographical Society of America. 99:4 [Dec 2005]:
573-622). She edits an online resource for the study of literary
annuals,
Forget Me Not: A Hypertextual Archive of Ackermann's
19th-Century Annual which will also become part of her
most recent work, a comprehensive literary history of British
annuals. With Laura Mandell, Virginia Jackson, Eliza Richards
and Harry Hootman, she edits
The Poetess Archive, an online resource focusing on both
British and American nineteenth-century authors. The
accompanying Poetess Archive Journal currently contains
articles by all editors, including Harris’ article "Borrowing,
Altering and Perfecting the Literary Annual Form – or What It is
Not: Emblems, Almanacs, Pocket-books, Albums, Scrapbooks and
Gifts Books" (The
Poetess Archive Journal
1.1).
