My research and teaching center on the early American republic and the United States in the nineteenth century. I am especially interested in the history of culture, ideas, media, and communication. I am the author of Horace Greeley: Print, Politics, and the Failure of American Nationhood (Johns Hopkins, 2019). My courses include The New American Nation, 1787-1848; Abraham Lincoln, Slavery, and the Civil War; The Civil War Era; American Founders (first-year seminar); and or, The Whale: Melville, Moby-Dick, and America, which places a reading of the novel at the center of the antebellum United States.
Students can make an appointment to meet with Prof. Lundberg here.
