Marsha Bryant is an associate professor at the University of Florida. She offers courses on twentieth-century British and American poetry, the American 1950s, women’s poetry, and intersections between literature and visual culture. Bryant is author of Auden and Documentary in the 1930s (Virginia, 1997), which examines how Auden’s work with documentary film and his position as a gay man prompted him to interrogate documentary discourse through his writing and photographs. Her edited anthology, Photo-Textualities: Reading Photographs and Literature (Delaware, 1996) assesses visual/verbal interplay in such texts as Hawthorne’s Marble Faun, Woolf’s Three Guineas, and Ondaatje’s Coming Through Slaughter. Her essays have appeared in College Literature, Journal of Modern Literature, Mosaic, Pedagogy, symploke, and the anthologies The Unraveling Archive: Essays on Sylvia Plath and Integrating Visual and Verbal Literacies. Her current research project takes interdisciplinary approaches to twentieth-century women poets.
