Jessica Mancini is a University of Oxford bound graduate student specializing in the Romantic Period (1700-1830). She has presented and published original research and analysis at conferences both in Canada and the U.S., notably Harvard’s National Collegiate Research Conference, the Undergraduate Research Conference at the University of Toronto, and Forbes and Fifth Academic Journal with the University of Pittsburgh. Jess has also published many short stories in literary magazines and journals alike. Although primarily a British Romanticist and Victorianist scholar, she also has a guilty pleasure for American Literature and Literary Theory. Jess spends her days wearing cat sweaters, writing, drawing, and overthinking – sometimes there's a motorcycle.
