Jennifer Nolan is Associate Professor of English at North Carolina State University. Her research falls at the intersection of two interrelated domains: twentieth-century American literature, with emphases on short fiction and F.

Her work on Fitzgerald’s stories resituates them back within the magazines where they were originally published and where they found their largest audiences, and has appeared in The F. Scott Fitzgerald Review, Book History (the journal for the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading, and Publishing), and the Journal of Modern Periodical Studies. Her current book project concerns the role of women at the Post who helped shape the context for Fitzgerald’s first publications there.
