Bridget Marshall works on representations of the legal system in gothic novels from both Britain and America.  She has recently presented pieces of her project at the Northeast Modern Language Association Conference, the National Popular Culture and American Culture Conference, and at the International Gothic Association Conference. She has completed articles forthcoming in the journal Gothic Studies and in the book MLA Options for Teaching: Literature and Law.  She has given numerous invited talks on her studies of early American witchcraft cases, and her development of an educational web site on a witchcraft case earned two grants from the Massachusetts Foundation for the Humanities. Her article on witch tourism in Salem appeared in the collection Spectral America: Phantoms and the National Imagination (U. Wisconsin Press, 2004), and has completed an article on a seventeenth-century witch that will appear in Changing Winds: Essays in the History of Hadley, Massachusetts (U. Massachusetts Press, 2008).
