Biography

Ella Ophir is an associate professor of English at the College of Arts and Science at the University of Saskatchewan, specializing in British and American modernist literature. She has published essays on modernist fiction, poetry, documentary, and life writing. Her most recent work explores the relationship between language and power, with a particular focus on conceptions of voice. She received SSHRC funding to produce a digital edition of The Note Books of a Woman Alone, the diary of London employment agency clerk from the years 1914 to 1934. First published in 1935, The Note Books were edited by M.G. Ostle, an ordinary reader inspired by Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own.
