Paul Saint-Amour works on Victorian and modernist literature, with special interests in the novel, law, trauma, and visual culture studies. Having received his B.A. from Yale and his Ph.D. from Stanford, he taught at Pomona College for ten years before joining the Penn faculty. He has been a fellow at the Stanford Humanities Center, the Center for the Humanities at Cornell, and the National Humanities Center. He is the author of The Copywrights: Intellectual Property and the Literary Imagination (Cornell U P, 2003), which won the MLA Prize for a First Book, and of articles in Comparative Literatures Studies, Diacritics, James Joyce Quarterly, Modernism/Modernity, Nineteenth-Century Studies, and a special “Counterfactuals” issue of Representations that he recently co-edited with Catherine Gallagher and Mark Maslan. A piece on total war and Gothic temporality is forthcoming in Gothic and Modernism, ed. John Paul Riquelme (Johns Hopkins U P). He is currently at work on an edited volume, Modernism and Copyright, and a book-length project entitled Archive, Bomb, Civilian: Modernism in the Shadow of Total War.

From 2004–06 Professor Saint-Amour chaired a fact-finding panel initiated by the International James Joyce Foundation to study the permissions history and criteria of the Estate of James Joyce and the general problem of scholarly fair use. The panel produced a detailed FAQ, “James Joyce: Copyright, Fair Use, and Permissions,” available on the IJJF’s website:
