Anna Linzie

I am currently doing research on literary value in a collaborative project about literary life cycles in Swedish and American literature 1900-1970. My previous research efforts primarily concern American modernism, specifically American expatriate writers and their autobiograhies, intertextuality, and collaborative writing.

I teach English at Karlstad University, especially literature courses at different levels. I also supervise a doctoral student and students writing various types of essays, and work with translation and proofreading.

I am a member of the Research Group for Culture Studies at Karlstad University (KuFo).

My research interests range from (expatriate) (American) modernism and autobiography via intertextuality and collaborative writing to gender, queer, and race studies.
