Sophie Oliver works on modernist writing by women. Her interests lie in the relationships between literature and visual cultures, especially art and fashion; feminism and modernism; the afterlives of modernist writing in contemporary culture; and ways of narrating intellectual history. She has published on Djuna Barnes, Mina Loy and on Jean Rhys, who was also the subject of an exhibition she curated at the British Library in 2016, ‘Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea and the Making of an Author’. She is working on her first book, on modernist women and clothes, and starting to think about her next project, a new history of feminist readers and reading. Sophie is a BBC/AHRC New Generation Thinker and she writes about art and literature for newspapers and magazines including the TLS and The White Review.
