Lorri Glover is an early Americanist. Her first book, All Our Relations: Blood Ties and Emotional Bonds among the Early South Carolina Gentry explored the kinship patterns and cultural values of eighteenth-century southern elites.  Professor Glover’s second book, Southern Sons: Becoming Men in the New Nation, investigated the formation of a distinctive southern masculine identity in the early national era. Most recently she co-authored with Dan Smith of the University of Kentucky The Shipwreck that Saved Jamestown: The Sea Venture Castaways and the Fate of America, a narrative history exploring the founding of Virginia and Bermuda and the origins of English America.  She teaches undergraduate courses on colonial America and the American Revolution and graduate seminars in Early American history
