Andrew H. Miller serves as the Director of Indiana University's Victorian Studies Program and as co-editor of the journal Victorian Studies. He received his doctorate in 1991 from Princeton University. His first book,"Novels Behind Glass"(Cambridge, 1995) investigated the interplay between narrative form and the commodity culture of the Victorian period. Miller also edited"Sexualities in Victorian Britain"with James Eli Adams (Indiana University Press, 1996).
His most recent book,"The Burdens of Perfection"(Cornell, 2008) explores the means by which novels frame conceptions of particular ethical problems.
Currently, Dr. Miller is working on a new project entitled"On Not Being Someone Else."
