Biography

Lenora Warren is a scholar specializing in Early American and African American Literature. She received her Ph.D. in English from New York University in 2011, her M.A. in English from the same institution in 2007, and her B.A. in English from the University of Michigan in 2001. Warren's research primarily focuses on literature related to abolition, insurrection, and resistance, with a particular interest in representations of shipboard mutiny and insurrection in late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century Anglo-American literature. Her book, "Fire Water: Sailors, Slaves, Insurrection in Early American Literature, 1798-1886," published by Bucknell University Press in 2019, presents a nuanced narrative of the complex history of abolition and slave violence through the lens of five black sailors. In addition to her contributions to literary scholarship, which have appeared in various journals, Warren is currently working on a book examining the legacy of Phillis Wheatley and the works of Black women writers from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, exploring themes of artmaking, joy, and resistance in their writing.
