Biography

My research examines the relationship between travel literature and the early novel in the long eighteenth century. Seeking to destabilize conventional assessments of the rise of the novel, I reconsider canonical texts (such as Robinson Crusoe and Humphry Clinker) alongside lesser-known travel narratives through book historical, postcolonial, and critical Indigenous perspectives.
