Kate Bergren received M.A. and Ph.D. in English from UCLA. Her book, The Global Wordsworth, was published in 2019. She is currently researching two new articles: one about amateur parodies of British poetry printed in antebellum American newspapers, and one about the role of Romantic poetry in colonial British matriculation exams.
