- About:
Andrew Goldstone works on twentieth-century literature in English, with an emphasis on sociological approaches. His research on modernism concerns the social significance of ideas of autonomy, innovation, and transnationalism; his book, Fictions of Autonomy: Modernism from Wilde to de Man (Oxford UP, 2013), contextualizes and historicizes autonomy itself. He has also worked on computational methods for disciplinary history. His monograph in progress, “Genre Fiction: A Subliterary History,” is a history of the genre-fiction system in terms of the contested and unequal relations among publishers, readers, and writers of category fiction.
