Biography

Mohlmann’s research focuses on popular non-fiction and autobiographical discourse in American literature. Mohlmann has published on seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Virginia, with a particular interest in the Virginia Company of London's corporate personhood, in addition to essays on the poetry of colonial American women. Mohlmann's first book, Trump and Autobiography: Corporate Culture, Political Rhetoric, and Interpretation (Routledge 2021) examined the influence of popular management non-fiction on Donald Trump's autobiographical writing. 

Mohlmann is currently at work on a second book examining autobiographical discourse in paranormal non-fiction post-1975.
