Jodi Schorb is Associate Professor of English at the University of Florida. Her work explores the intersections of print culture and self-making in the Americas across the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Her book, Reading Prisoners: Literature, Literacy, and the Transformation of American Punishment, 1700-1845 (Rutgers UP, 2014), establishes the emergence of the prisoner as writer by exploring the development of the US prison alongside the early history of US prison literacy and education.
