Abigail Scott Rawleigh is a writer, researcher, and educator and holds a PhD in English from the University of Notre Dame. Her work studies the intersection of religion and literature in the Anglophone Atlantic with a particular emphasis on devotional practices and literatures.

Her current book project, Apocalypse at Home: the Eschatological Imagination in English Atlantic Poetry, traces how puritan poetry engages questions of apocalypse and doomsday in a settler colonial context. Employing discussions of domestic devotional practices and material culture, the book argues that seventeenth-century puritan poetry developed an eschatological imagination that allowed the spaces and practices of their daily lives to shape and be shaped by the end of the world.
