About: I am a postdoctoral researcher in nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature, having completed my doctorate in English at the University of Oxford. I teach across Victorian, modernist and contemporary literature as well as courses on single authors (e.g. Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence) and literary theory.

My thesis, ‘Writing Towards Italy: Place, Space and Identity in Vernon Lee, E. M. Forster and D. H. Lawrence’, was supervised by Prof Stefano Evangelista. I also hold an M.A. in English Literatures and Literary Theory from the University of Freiburg, Germany. My current research is particularly interested in the intersections between place, literary form, and aesthetic, emotional and somatic experience.

Research Interests: Victorian, Fin de siècle, Edwardian and early 20th-century literature, modernism, place-writing, theories of space and place, tourism and travel, Italy, homes and houses, affect and emotion, non-fictional prose forms, aestheticism, gender and queerness, national and cultural identities.
