connections among his interests in nineteenth century British literature (fiction,
poetry, and political writing), critical theory, the novel, aesthetics, and Anglophone
modernism. 

Born and raised in Fresno, California, Professor Hensley studied creative writing at
Vassar College, then moved on to criticism at the University of Notre Dame, and Duke,
where he was also a Mellon/ACLS Dissertation Completion Fellow. Before joining the
Macalester faculty he was a postdoctoral fellow at Duke and assistant editor of NOVEL: A
Forum on Fiction.
