About Me:
My teaching interests are wide and varied. In recent years my courses have included spatial theories and literary London; Jewishness and Englishness in Victorian literature; Transatlantic periodical print culture of the nineteenth century; genders and genres in fin-de-siècle literature; race, nation, and empire in Victorian literature and culture; gender and life-writing; Victorian women writers, literature and science; gender, space, and travel in twentieth-century literature. I use internet and other digital technology in teaching and research, and my courses have websites with features such as blogs, discussion boards, image files, maps, and glossaries. Two book projects currently underway: Roomscapes: Gender and the Reading Room of the British Museum, 1857-1930; Victorian Vulgarity, a collection of essays co-edited with Elsie Michie.
Publications
My books include Confessional Subjects: Revelations of Gender and Power in Victorian Literature and Culture (1997), and editions of two 1888 novels by Amy Levy, The Romance of the Shop (2006) and Reuben Sachs (2006), published by Broadview Press.
