Teaching

Gothic Fiction and Film

I convene a third-year module on Gothic Fiction and Film that explores the development of the genre from the eighteenth century to the present and considers the relationships between Gothic literature, film and other visual technologies.

Nineteenth-Century Literature

I teach widely across the long nineteenth century, including undergraduate modules in Romantic and Victorian literature and nineteenth-century American literature. I also teach on the Victorian pathway of the MA English Literature programme.

Postgraduate Research Skills

I convene and teach the MA Research Skills module taken by students on the MA English Literature programmes and by MRes students understaking literary research projects.
