I am a Senior Lecturer in English in the School of the Arts and Media. Most of my research deals with modernist fiction; particular focuses include modernist conceptions of authorship, the relationship between literature and specialization, technological media and the cultural history of trust. My articles have appeared in journals such as ELH, Modernism/modernity, NOVEL and Modern Fiction Studies, as well as in several edited collections. I am co-editor of the collection Modernist Work: Labor, Aesthetics, and the Work of Art (Bloomsbury, 2019).
