Marsha Bryant
Associate Professor
Marsha Bryant received her BA and MA from the University of Tennessee and her PhD from the University of Illinois before joining the UF faculty in 1989. She offers courses on twentieth-century British and American poetry, the American 1950s, women’s poetry, and intersections between literature and visual culture.
Bryant is author of Auden and Documentary in the 1930s (Virginia, 1997), which examines how Auden’s work with documentary film and his position as a gay man prompted him to interrogate documentary discourse through his writing and photographs. Her edited anthology, Photo-Textualities: Reading Photographs and Literature (Delaware, 1996) assesses visual/verbal interplay in such texts as Hawthorne’s Marble Faun, Woolf’s Three Guineas, and Ondaatje’s Coming Through Slaughter.
Bryant’s essays have appeared in American Literature, College Literature, Journal of Modern Literature, Modernism/Modernity, Mosaic, Pedagogy, symploke, Tulsa Studies in Women’s Literature and the anthologies The Unraveling Archive: Essays on Sylvia Plath and Integrating Visual and Verbal Literacies. Her current book project examines women’s poetry and popular culture.
