Trisha D. Gupta is a doctoral student in English at New York University. She studies Renaissance literature and critical theory, and her research interests are located at the dynamic nexus of embodiment, the disordered sensorium as a site of subversion, representations of refusal and self-regulation as autoimmunity, and the rhetoric of alimentary consumption in early modern literature. She also holds a Bachelor of Arts with High Honors in English & American Literature with minors in Medieval & Renaissance Studies and Chemistry from New York University and a Master of Arts with Distinction in Early Modern English Literature from King's College London in collaboration with the British Library, where her master's dissertation was entitled "Culinary Counter-Blazons: Food Metaphors and the Healing of Traumatized Female Bodies in Early Modernity." Her book reviews have appeared in the "Times Literary Supplement," "The Seventeenth Century," and "English Studies."
