Charlotte Lindemann

Charlotte Lindemann is the editor of Interventions, the blog section of Arcade: The Humanities in the World, where she works with scholars across the humanities to publish interviews and academic essays.

Lindemann received her PhD in English from Stanford University in June 2024. Her research traces the formation and significance of narrative conventions in American literature and culture of the nineteenth and early twentieth century, using both traditional and computational methods of reading. Her dissertation, titled, "Imaginary Transcripts: Dialogue in Nineteenth Century American Literature," theorizes the poetics of fictional dialogue and its fraught place in the American literary tradition. Lindemann also has a project with the Stanford Literary Lab that uses computational methods to study the representation of film stars in a corpus of women’s magazines, featured in Harpers Bazaar Italia. She has taught courses on American literature, narrative theory, and detective fiction at Stanford and Hunter College.
