Notes and Questions
Anyone have insight on this job? I'm not sure of the search for EITHER a 19th-century Americanist OR a specialist in American drama/film.

They've canceled the American drama/film component of this search, narrowing it solely to 19thC American literature. http://www.bu.edu/english/DeptJobListing.html

I find it surprising that this converted solely to 19th-century American and dropped the drama portion. They seem to have decent faculty representation in 19th century, especially fiction. I wonder if they are looking for a poetry specialist.

Notes and Questions
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there an early Americanist at assistant prof rank at F & M now? Why is this search being conducted? Does it have anything to do with their tenuring process? Or is a small English dept really looking to have two untenured early Am specialists?

It seems likely he didn't get tenure.
