Biography
Sarah Baber is a third-year Ph.D. student and Presidential Fellow at the University of Notre Dame. Curious about the evolving role of music in 17th- and 18th-century literature, she focuses on writers including John Milton and Jane Austen. Her current research addresses preoccupations with music and the lyric in early modern England. Paying particular attention to Milton, Cavendish, Shakespeare, and Cervantes, she hopes to examine how music informs these writers’ approaches to gender, political and domestic power, and narrative.
