Biography

Zoë Van Cauwenberg (she/her) is a PhD candidate in literary studies at KU Leuven and in history at Ghent University. She previously obtained her MA in history (2017) and MA in historical linguistics and literature (2020) at Ghent University. Zoë's FWO-funded (Research Foundation – Flanders, 1148221N) project examines how female authors from Scotland and Ireland shape historical material in literary works and how they draw attention to the stylizing and mediation of history in these imaginative renderings of the past.
In February-March 2023, Zoë was a visiting student researcher at the department of English at UC Berkeley. She has presented and published on orality and history in the works of Anne Bannerman and Mary St. John, Romantic and Gothic connections in the lyrics of Taylor Swift and the Gothic heroine in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Zoë is currently co-editing a special issue on affect and feminist formalism in historical women’s writing to be published in spring 2025.
