Research interests

The development of the novel in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and the novels of Jane Austen in particular; women’s writing in all genres; Gothic literature in all genres; gender history, especially representations of masculinity; political economy and literature; reception theory and the history of the book. I would be happy to offer research supervision in any of these areas and on other aspects of eighteenth and early nineteenth-century literature and culture.

Biographical notes

I have previously taught at Keele University and held a Senior Research Fellowship at Sheffield Hallam University, working with the Corvey Project on Romantic-Era Women’s Writing. In 2005 I came to Southampton as Professor of Eighteenth-Century Literature, with responsibilities for developing the link with Chawton House Library, a centre for the study of early women’s writing with a unique collection of rare books. I teach undergraduate and MA courses based at Chawton and Southampton. I have supervised PhD research on Jane Austen, ‘Monk’ Lewis and Gothic theatre, the novels of Lady Caroline Lamb, British national identity in the eighteenth century, and Mary Elizabeth Braddon’s fiction.
