I am Jessica McLennan, a PhD candidate at Macquarie University researching mind theories—associationism, monomania, and Freudian personality theory—and their application to nineteenth-century dramatic monologues and psychological poetry. My work examines how Victorian literary representations of female psychopathies intersect with psychodynamic discourse, and I explore transgressive female figures in the long nineteenth century through formalist readings of poetic texts. My research spans literary and psychodynamic discourse, with a focus on how gender and psychology shape narrative form. I am committed to rigorous scholarly inquiry, interdisciplinary collaboration, and communicating complex ideas in accessible ways for diverse audiences.…I am Jessica McLennan, a PhD candidate at Macquarie University researching mind theories—associationism, monomania, and Freudian personality theory—and their application to nineteenth-century dramatic monologues and psychological poetry.
