I am currently Head of the School of English in the Faculty of Arts and Deputy Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Education with responsibility for the University's postgraduate taught portfolio.

Expertise Summary

BA, PhD (University of Galway).

My primary research interests are in the literature and culture of British India during the Romantic and Victorian periods, particularly newspapers, periodicals, travel writing and poetry.

Current Research

My main research interests are in the fields of Romantic-period women's writing and colonial and postcolonial cultures, with particular reference to the literature and history of British India. I am currently working with Carol Adlam (NTU) on a scholarly edition of the letters of Eliza Raine. Recent work on the periodicals of colonial Bombay (Mumbai), funded by a BA/Leverhulme Small Research Grant in 2016 and an RSVP Curran Fellowship in 2018. has produced an edition of the poetry of Thomas D'Arcy Morris (Romantic Circles, 2018), and an essay on (2019).

Other publications include " Modern Language Review (2020), (2015) and The Poetry of British India 1780-1905 (2011). Previous publications on colonial literary culture include work on Rudyard Kipling, the literature of the Indian Rebellion, and the history and fiction associated with British campaigns against thugs and dacoits in the first half of the nineteenth century. Earlier publications on the Romantic period have focused on women writers including Emma Roberts, L.E. Landon, and Caroline Gilldea the subject of an essay contributed to the database from Alexander Street Press.
