Leverhulme Fellow
About
I am a Leverhulme Fellow in the Department of English at Queen Mary, University of London. My research project focuses on responses to the Russian Revolution among the British literary intelligentsia, and will be a broad ranging study of the relations between literature, politics and the press in the modernist period. I completed my PhD research at the London Consortium in 2008. My thesis examined literary and cinematic representations of mass housing in London and Paris, and formed the basis of my first book, Fictions of the City: Class, Culture and Mass Housing in London and Paris (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009). Media history - print, in particular - has been a significant interest and I contributed about a hundred articles to the Dictionary of Nineteenth Century Journalism (British Library, 2009). I continue to contribute new entries to the digital edition. I am Associate Editor of Critical Quarterly where I am currently editing two special issues: on food (with Lucy Scholes) and on the digital humanities. I am a Fellow of the London Consortium.
