Scholarship and Biography

Professor Harth engages in a novel combination of scholarly work. She continues to be interested in women in early modern France, but she has also written on the wartime internment of Japanese Americans. Early in 2014 her first work of fiction (self-published), "Red Hill Blues," appeared on Amazon.com in both paperback and Kindle editions. "Red Hill Blues" is a mystery novel set in 1953 in the New York village of Croton-on-Hudson, where the author grew up. It features two teen-age girl sleuths braving the vicissitudes of the 1950s Red Scare. It also features occasional comic strips drawn by Karen W. Klein, a professor emerita of the English Department.
