Executive President

Martha F. Bowden Ph.D. (1981) University of Toronto. I am a Professor of English at Kennesaw State University, where I have been teaching since 1992. My area of specialty is eighteenth-century studies, but I also teach freshman composition, the second half of the Sophomore Survey in British literature, the Gateway course, introducing students to the major, and a graduate course in the M.Ed. program. This spring I was elected to a three-year term as Coordinator of Undergraduate English Studies. I am a Contributing Editor to The Scriblerian. My research interests included eighteenth-century fiction, church history, and the depiction of the eighteenth century in contemporary historical fiction.

Representative Publications: Books: The Reform'd Coquet, Familiar Letters Betwixt a Gentleman and a Lady, and The Accomplish'd Rake (University Press of Kentucky, 1999), an edition of three novels by Mary Davys (1674[?]-1732), and Yorick's Congregation: The Church of England in the Time of Laurence Sterne (Unviversity of Delaware Press, 2007). In addition, I have published articles on a variety of subjects, including eighteenth-century fiction and teaching composition.

As Executive President of ABS, I am responsible for the oversight and coordination of the Society's activities, including conferences, membership, and finances. If you have any questions about the society, please email me: mbowden@kennesaw.edu
