Research Interests
My research interests focus on the nineteenth-century periodical press, nineteenth-century women's writing, book history, life-writing, and bibliography. Currently I am working on a multi-volume edition of the work of the novelist, biographer, critic and literary historian Margaret Oliphant (1828-97), for which I hold a Leverhulme Emeritus Fellowship 2011-3. I co-edit, with Vincent Newey, the Nineteenth Century Series for Ashgate Publishing. From 2008-11 I was an Honorary Moser Fellow, and from 2012 a Visiting Professor at the Humanities Research Institute, University of Keele.
Projects
Current Postgraduate Supervision
I am currently supervising dissertations on Eliza Meteyard and Radical Publishing; Aspects of Childhood in the work of Charles Dickens; Dinah Maria Craik; psychology and the mid-nineteenth century novel, and the travel journals of a nineteenth-century Northamptonshire landowner.
I am interested in supervising dissertations on all aspects of nineteenth-century literature and culture, and in particular on women's writing, life-writing, the periodical press, and the history of the book.
