Emily A. Foster is a Lecturer in the Department of Literatures in English at Cornell University. She holds a Ph.D., M.A., and M.Phil. in English Comparative Literature from Columbia University, an M.A. in Education from Stanford University, and a B.A. with summa cum laude honors from Cornell University. Her teaching and research interests encompass the global 19th-century novel, Victorian literature and culture, and the intersections between the Victorian and early modern periods. She also explores literature and television through the lens of serialized narratives, science fiction literature, and genre studies. Her recent research project, 'Unhappy Endings: Continuing 19th-Century Novels,' investigates how Victorian novels, upon reaching a halt, invite subsequent continuations in the form of sequels, serialized installments, and attempts to complete unfinished works. Foster's work has appeared in notable publications including Dickens Studies Annual, L.A. Review of Books, Public Books, and Politics/Letters. She has also served as Guest Faculty at Sarah Lawrence College and has been a Graduate Teaching Fellow and a John C. Kluge Fellow at Columbia University's Scholars’ Program.
