About Me

Jenny Davidson
My two most recent books are THE EXPLOSIONIST (HarperTeen), the story of a 15-year-old girl growing up in an alternate version of 1930s Edinburgh, one where the legacy of Napoleon's victory a century earlier at Waterloo is a standoff between a totalitarian Federation of European States and a group of independent northern countries called the New Hanseatic League; and BREEDING: A PARTIAL HISTORY OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY (Columbia University Press). I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
