Dr. Rosenberg’s research interests include 20th- and 21st-
century British, Irish, and Anglophone literature, global modernisms,
modernism/modernity, history and theory of the novel, Postcolonial and
Diaspora studies, Virginia Woolf, and James Joyce. She serves on the
Advisory Board of the Journal of Modern Literature and on the Editorial
Board of Woolf Studies Annual. She is currently at work on a book manuscript
titled, Hellenism and Hebraism in the Twentieth Century: the Construction of
Jewishness in Literary Modernism. The study synthesizes discourses about
Jewishness, including debates over the Aliens Restriction Bill of 1905,
early twentieth-century immigration policy, aesthetic theory, and the work
of Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, Salman Rushdie,
Anita Desai, and Zadie Smith.
