Molly Dawe

Molly Dawe received her MA in English from the University of Toronto in 2018. She is in her third year of the PhD program. Her research explores the boundaries of cognition and identity in the works of several late Victorian writers (including George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and Henry James). Her dissertation contends that these writers produced narrative representations of "extended" forms of cognition as a means of furnishing new modes of character and political subjectivity against the dominance of 19th century liberalism.
