Louisa
Mackenzie grew up in Scotland and did her BA at Queen's College,
Oxford, before moving to Berkeley. Her current book project considers
the
landscapes in lyric poetry of the French Renaissance, with particular
attention to projections of nationalist and regionalist ideologies into
the
imagined spaces of poetic landscape. She draws significantly on details
of
land use, on the history of cartography, and on the environmental history
of
the period. Other research and teaching interests include ecocriticism
and
its discontents, nature and culture, the representation of Julius Caesar
in
Renaissance Europe, science fiction and utopic/dystopic literature, as
well
as broader considerations of what interdisciplinarity could mean in the
academy. She has published articles or book chapters on Du
Bellay, Ronsard, Jean Parmentier, Rabelais, Montaigne, and Don DeLillo.
