Dr. Sharon Worley received her Ph.D. in Humanities from the University of Texas at Dallas. She is an adjunct professor who teaches at area colleges in Houston, Texas including the University of Houston, the University of Phoenix and Houston Community College. She is the author of numerous publications on art history, literature and culture.
"Worley's expert handling of both literary and artistic materials relevant to Stolberg's circle, in relation to aesthetic movements and political strife and the connections she weaves throughout vividly capture, from a gendered perspective, changing trends and dynamics in that period, indicating new perspectives on traditional knowledge." (Professor Nancy Isenberg, Department of Foreign Languages, Literature and Culture, Faculty of Letters and Philosophy, Universita degli Studi Roma Tre, Rome, Italy) "This is an important study of interactions between Madame de Stael and Louise Stolberg and their coterie of friends. To my knowledge, no such published work exists yet. Dr. Worley has done an excellent analysis of the contribution of Enlightenment writers to nationalism and romanticism. This is a must read for the scholars who are interested in the intellectual foundation of the study of nationalism, especially in Europe." (Dr. Nupur Chaudhuri, Professor, Department of History & Geography, Texas Southern University)
