About Britton Edelen
Britton Edelen is a Ph.D. candidate in English Literature at Duke University. He is currently completing a dissertation, "Language Worked Over: Modernism and the Poetics of Exhaustion," which explores how, in the wake of the discovery of thermodynamics, modernist writers figures exhaustion as an aesthetic goal rather than a hazard to be avoided. When he's not writing, reading, or teaching, Britt enjoys going for very long walks and lying down with his cat.
