Christopher Rovee's course offerings in the English department have centered on 18th- and 19th-century British literature, including classes on the gothic tradition in literature and film, British aestheticism, and the nineteenth-century lyric. He is the author of Imagining the Gallery: The Social Body of British Romanticism (Stanford UP, 2006), which treats romantic museum culture and the politics of visuality. He is currently working on three different projects: a book about art and waste in Victorian England; a collection of essays about early photography; and a verse-biography of the English designer, poet, and socialist William Morris.
