In this episode we interview Karen Roggenkamp, professor of American Literature and Children’s literature at Texas A&M University (Commerce). She is the author of two books, Narrating the News: New Journalism and Literary Genre in Late Nineteenth Century American Newspapers and Fiction, and Sympathy, Madness, and Crime: How Four Nineteenth Century Journalists Made the Newspaper Women’s Business, both published by Kent State University Press. Each book, in part, highlights the Lizzie Borden case through the lens of two renowned journalists: Julian Ralph and Elizabeth Jordan.
