Christine L. Krueger *86
Christine died of cancer in Milwaukee July 8, 2023.
She was born April 27, 1957, in Wausau, Wis. She graduated from Lawrence University and earned a Ph.D. in English from Princeton in 1986.
Christine joined the English faculty at Marquette in 1985. Her area of scholarly interest was the intersections among Victorian literature and culture generally, especially theology and preaching. She taught courses in Victorian literature, literature and law, and women and literature. Her research interests were in the “long nineteenth century” (1780-1900) because the period faced the same challenges as current culture with optimism and energy.
Press interest in her studies of 19th-century women historians encouraged her to complete her biography of Mary Anne Everett Green. During Christine’s career, she received many awards and honors, including the inaugural Way Klingler Award in Interdisciplinary Teaching at Marquette.
Christine is survived by her husband, Albert R. Braunmuller; a niece; and a nephew.
Graduate memorials are prepared by the APGA.
