Biography : 

My project follows how developments in nineteenth-century economic theories of labour influenced Victorian aesthetic theory. My dissertation pushes back against the critical notion that Victorian novels tend not to represent labour by focusing on novels that both represent labour and, as I argue, incorporate labour into the form of the novel.
