RESEARCH INTERESTS:
Eighteenth-Century British Literature and Culture; British Romanticism; Feminist Theory; Gender Studies; Women and Literature.
CURRENT RESEARCH:
My research explores the lives and literary representations of muse figures in the Romantic period. I’m particularly interested in the evolution and internalization of the muse, a shift towards self-creation and self-authorization that began in the eighteenth century.
