| Professor Frank's
publications include Charles Dickens and the Romantic Self (University
of Nebraska Press, 1984); an essay on Freud and Dora in Psychic
Seduction (University of Illinois Press, 1989); and articles on
the fiction of Dickens, Doyle, and Poe in the Dickens Studies Annual
(1999), Nineteenth-Century Literature (1989, 1995, 1999), and Signs
(1996). His writing covers nineteenth-century science, detective
fiction, and psychoanalysis. His new book project, "Reconstructions:
Science and Detection on Poe, Dickens, and Doyle," should be completed
in 2000. In his undergraduate and graduate teaching, Professor Frank is
engaged in new-historical approaches to the discipline of intellectual
history and in the application of such approaches to nineteenth-century
science and literature. Each of his courses "is designed as a writing
course in which students engage in the art of literary analysis." |
