NOTES:
- Wow. There is something really suspicious about this job posting. Two years back they advertised for a visiting position in Victorian literature, and as evidenced by the dept’s faculty listing, they found someone for the limited appointment. But now they switch gears and decide to hire a Romanticist? I can’t help but feel like this is a very callous attempt at cutting out the current adjunct. This economic climate brings out the worst in hiring committees!
- If they ran a search for Victorian literature everyone would be up in arms that the game is rigged in favor of the inside candidate with callous disregard of all those who take the time to apply!
- Two years back they advertised for 19th-Century British Literature (a year before Monmouth in NJ hired in Victorian Literature). Although it is perhaps true that 19th-Century positions go to Victorians it is also possible this particular VAP went to a Romanticist and that has caused them to emphasize that for the new TT search.
