Welcome to the home page of Betty A. Schellenberg, Professor of English at Simon Fraser University.

I am a specialist in eighteenth-century studies who received my training at the University of Winnipeg (BEd, BAHonours) and the University of Ottawa (MA, PhD). Some of my recent publications are The Professionalization of Women Writers in Eighteenth-Century Britain (Cambridge, 2005), Reconsidering the Bluestockings (Huntington Library, 2003, co-edited with Nicole Pohl), and Part Two: Reflections on the Sequel (Toronto, 1998, co-edited with Paul Budra). My current research focuses on mid-eighteenth-century print culture, women's writing, Samuel Richardson, and travel writing. I teach and supervise students in all aspects of eighteenth-century literary life.
