My research deals with literature, philosophy and politics from the Victorian to the Modernist period, with a focus on early modernism in Britain. My interests include theology and literature; the politics of modernism; transnational modernisms in interwar Europe; periodical studies; broadcasting in the modernist era; and modernist art criticism.
My first book, T.E. Hulme and the Ideological Politics of Early Modernism, was published by Bloomsbury in 2015. I have published articles and chapters on various aspects of modernist politics and intellectual history, and I co-edited the collection Broadcasting in the Modernist Era (Bloomsbury 2014). I am currently completing a study on the motif of Original Sin and the Fall in modernist writing.
Romantic, Victorian, Modern and Contemporary literature; special author and special topic papers.
I completed my doctorate at Worcester College and held an ERC postdoctoral fellowship with Tallinn University’s Between the Times project before returning to teach for Worcester in 2024.
