Elizabeth Shockley is an English MA/PhD student pursuing research in American Gothic literature and its relationship to labor history and political economics.
Her upcoming article, "'Like an Old Lady's Cup of Tea, It Is Water Bewitched!': Inheritance, Property Reform, and the Language of Original Sin in The House of the Seven Gables," discusses the ideological connections between the antebellum property reform movement led by Working Men's Party politician Thomas Skidmore and Nathaniel Hawthorne's story of generational property conflict.
