传记
Research/Creative Interests and Innovations
Dr. Miller publishes in all areas of American studies, but her specialty is early twentieth-century American literature and art and the development of Modernism. Her articles on American writers and artists have appeared in such journals as Mosaic, 新生, American Transcendental Quarterly, Journal of Modern 文学, North Dakota Quarterly, Studies in American Fiction, 梅勒评论, and The Hemingway Review, as well as in several edited book collections. Much of Miller’s research has focused on American expatriates in France during the 1920s, and she is perhaps best known for her studies on the Lost Generation, including her book Letters from the Lost Generation: Gerald and Sara Murphy and Friends (published in an expanded edition with University Press of Florida, 2002).
Selected publications/exhibitions/performances list
最近，Dr。. Miller served as a primary consultant for the multi-media art exhibit “Making It New: The Art and Style of Sara & 杰拉尔德·墨菲.” This exhibit traveled nationally during 2007 and 2008 to Williams College Museum of Art, Dallas Museum of Art, and Yale University Art Gallery. Miller’s essay “杰拉尔德·墨菲 in Letters, 文学, and Life” appears in the exhibition catalog Making It New (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2007), and Miller presented several public lectures in conjunction with this exhibit, including at the Dallas Museum of Art in August 2008. Miller has served as a scholarly consultant on expatriate American writers and artists for American Playhouse, 美国公共电视台, and she has appeared as guest scholar on 欧内斯特·海明威 for C-Span’s ongoing series American Writers: A Journey Through History. Dr. Miller chairs the Editorial Review Board for the Cambridge Edition of the 欧内斯特·海明威 Letters, and her foreword will appear in the forthcoming Volume 1 (1899-1922). Miller has two essays forthcoming in The Hemingway Review, one on Hemingway’s The Garden of Eden and another on how Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn influenced Hemingway’s writing of In Our Time. Miller’s most recent article in 梅勒评论, “Woman Redux: deKooning, Mailer and American Abstract Expressionism” (Volume 3, No. 1, 2009, pp. 299-306) reflects her ongoing interest in the impact that graphic art has had on American writers (including Norman Mailer and Hemingway) throughout the twentieth century. Miller’s essay “Remembering Fitzgerald: Fanny Myers Brennan and Honoria Murphy Donelly Interviews” (The F. Scott Fitzgerald Review, Volume 8, 2010) draws upon her continued research on the Lost Generation.
