In keeping with the theme of this roundtable, here is what Microsoft Co-Pilot has to say about Megan Quigley (the following may or may not be true):
Professor Megan Quigley is an Associate Professor of English at Villanova University, where she is also affiliated with Irish Studies and Gender and Women’s Studies. Her academic focus is on British and Irish literary modernism, and she has made significant contributions to the study of authors like T.S. Eliot, Henry James, James Joyce, and Virginia Woolf.
She is the author of the book Modernist Fiction and Vagueness: Philosophy, Form, and Language, which explores the intersection of literary modernism and philosophical concepts of vagueness. Additionally, she co-edited Eliot Now, a collection of revisionary approaches to the works of T.S. Eliot.
Quigley’s scholarship has been supported by prestigious fellowships from institutions such as the Harry Ransom Center, the Huntington Library, and the Beinecke Library. She was also a Visiting Fellow at St. Edmund Hall, Oxford during the 2019–2020 academic year and has lectured multiple times at the T.S. Eliot International Summer School.
Her current book project, The Love Song of Modernism, delves into modernism and fanfiction, reflecting her interest in how contemporary cultural movements like #MeToo influence literary interpretation and pedagogy.
