Biography

Although my primary interest is British and American Modernism, I have research interests in the 18th-century novel and Old English poetry. Within the 20th century, my thesis will primarily explore poverty, neglect, and the British book trade in the 1930s. I am currently working on my first chapter, which is a case study of Jean Rhys's 1934 novel "Voyage in the Dark." Otherwise, I do research for the Modernist Archives Publishing Project (MAPP) and actively strive to develop myself as a teacher (pedagogy is very important to me!).
