Jennifer Tuttle is coeditor of Charlotte Perkins Gilman: New Texts, New Contexts

Jennifer S. Tuttle, Ph.D., associate professor of English and Dorothy M. Healy Chair in Literature & Health and Faculty Director, Maine Women Writers Collection has coedited Charlotte Perkins Gilman: New Texts, New Contexts with Carol Farley Kessler, professor emerita of Englaih, American Studies, and Women's Studies at Penn State-Brandywine.

During her lifetime, Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) was a popular writer, lecturer, and social reformer whose literary interests ranged from short stories, novels, and nonfiction philosophical studies to poetry, newspaper columns, plays, and many other genres. Though she fell into obscurity after her death, there has been a dramatic resurgence of interest in Gilman's works among literary scholars since the 1970s. Charlotte Perkins Gilman: New Texts, New Contexts represents a new phase of feminist scholarship in recovery, drawing readers attention to Gilman's lesser-known writings, and recontextualizing her most popular pieces, from fresh perspectives that revise what we thought we knew about the author and her work.
