Research Interests
Kamilla Elliott grew up in the UK, moving to the US after A levels. She received her B.A. in Mass Communications and Theatre from the University of Colorado in 1980 and pursued postgraduate studies in film at Boston University from 1981-82. After years away from academics, she returned in 1989, earning an A.L.M. degree through Harvard's adult education programme in 1991. From there, she entered the Harvard University, where she completed a Ph.D. in English and American Literature and Language in 1996. She taught Victorian studies and interdisciplinary literature/film studies at the University of California at Berkeley from 1996-2004. During that time she wrote articles on literature and film and published Rethinking the Novel/Film Debate (Cambridge UP, 2003). Her second monograph, Portraiture and British Gothic Fiction: The Rise of Picture Identification, 1764-1835, is forthcoming from Johns Hopkins University Press in 2012. She is currently writing a monograph, entitled, Theorizing Adaptations/Adapting Theories and continuing her research into British fiction and the rise of mass picture identification in the years 1836-1918. She is also the author of articles on literature and film, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literature, and theory and textual practice.
