L.
Michelle Baker, PhD
Adjunct Instructor,
Dr. Baker returned to literary studies
after a brief stint as an accountant demonstrated the futility of any other
career path. She recently completed her
dissertation—Blaming Helen: Beauty and Desire in Contemporary Literature. The manuscript represents her ongoing effort
to reclaim the language of the aesthetic as a viable literary theory by
surveying the attitudes toward beauty displayed by postmodern authors including
Yannis Ritsos, Christa Wolf, and Derek Walcott.
In addition to aesthetic philosophy, Dr. Baker’s continuing research
interests include the structural poetics of Derek Walcott and the tension between
masculine and feminine imagery in underworld journeys.
