BiographyRomaine trained as a classicist. In 1987 she was sent to Egypt to research Roman sites in and around the city of Alexandria. Fascinated by the Arabic language, over the next six years she attended university extension classes, two intensive (full-immersion), summers at Middlebury College, and a year on fellowship at the American University in Cairo (1992-1993). She taught Arabic at the College of William and Mary from 1993 to 1996; she has since taught at Middlebury College, the University of Pennsylvania, Washington College, Swarthmore College, Princeton University, and Villanova University, among other institutions.[2] Romaine won a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in 2007 to facilitate her translation of Spectres and was named runner-up for the 2011 Banipal Prize for the same book. She was awarded a second NEA fellowship for 2015, to support the translation of a novel by Egyptian writer Mohamed Mansi Qandil, A Cloudy Day on the Western Shore, to be published by Syracuse University Press in October 2018. Romaine has also published a number of shorter translations, including short stories and selections from Abbasid poetry, in such literary journals as The St. Petersburg Review, Metamorphoses, and Pusteblume. In 2018, Romaine published Write Arabic Now!: A Handwriting Workbook for Letters and Words (including handwritten models for Arabic script by Lana Iskandarani), with Georgetown University Press.
