About...
About me: My name is Jan Blaschak and I am currently an undergraduate student in English at Wayne State University.
The idea for this site came from a digital humanities group project in a summer literature class taught by Professor Andrew Winckles. That group project was my introduction both to Maria Edgeworth and to digital humanities. I subsequently chose to research Edgeworth and other women authors of children's literature with the assistance and inspiration of Professor Lisa Maruca. This is a senior English Honors project but for me, it is also much more. I've been continually amazed and delighted by what I find in these authors, and have found references to many more I am eager to research and share. I intend to expand and refine this site to be inviting, educational and fun.
I encourage your feedback! Please let me know what you think.
