Professor Woodward has been teaching courses in Enlightenment, the early development of fiction, Jane Austen, and women writers since 1987, when she came to UNM from the University of Washington, where her doctoral work centered in the eighteenth century, narrative and feminist theory, and the writers Sarah Fielding, John Milton, and Jane Austen. She is part of the field group BIEN, British and Irish Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Studies. Two recent articles deal with problematics of authorship as noted in certain eighteenth-century texts: “Sarah Fielding, The Modern Figure of the Author, and the Case of The Histories of Some of the Penitents of the Magdalen House” published in English: Journal of the English Association, and “Crossing Borders with Mademoiselle de Richelieu: Fiction, Gender, and the Problem of Authenticity” which appeared in Eighteenth-Century Fiction in 2004. Another article, “Jane Collier, Sarah Fielding, and the Motif of Tormenting” (The Age of Johnson, 2005), is part of her current book project, in which she considers the friendship, writing endeavors, and urban life that Sarah Fielding and Jane Collier shared in mid-eighteenth century London.
