Cultural Criticism / English Literature
Postgraduate Students
I would welcome applications from potential graduate students interested in researching Romantic-era poetry and prose, especially satire, popular fiction, and women’s writing.
Current PhD Supervision
I currently supervise PhD dissertations on the following topics: ‘Women Writers and Romantic Medievalism’ ‘Feminine Identity and Desire in the Posthuman’, ‘Female Inheritance and Community in the Works of Harriet and Sophia Lee’, ‘Epic in the Eighteenth Century’, and ‘Radical Writing and the Language of Rights and Revolution in the Literary and Political Works of Mary Darby Robinson’.
Research Interests
My research to date has focused on satire in the Romantic period, and women’s writing, both of the modern and Romantic periods. I have published many essays in this area, and books on Mary Wollstonecraft, contemporary feminist literary theory and the first scholarly edition of the satires of Thomas Moore.
I am currently completing a monograph, entitled Thomas Moore, Satirist. Other projects include Key Romantic Concepts (forthcoming Palgrave Macmillan: 2010) and an edited collection of essays, Mary Wollstonecraft (forthcoming Ashgate: 2010).
