On today’s episode, Liza talks to author and professor Alex Moffett, who teaches English literature at Providence College. Professor Moffett specializes in British and Irish Modernism and Utopian and Dystopian Fiction. He is currently working on a project about representations of telepathy in literature that covers classic texts like Jane Eyre and Dracula.
