Biography

I write about futures "not yet here" for female characters in the Victorian novel. I use this term to refer to narrative possibilities glimpsed but not fully manifested. I show how this structure follows the logic of the gendered body through works by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Thomas Hardy, Sarah Grand, and Kazuo Ishiguro. My earlier work focused on the life and career of eighteenth-century author Amelia Alderson Opie.
