Personal profile

Research

My research in English literature mainly falls within two fields: 19th-century studies and translation studies. In both strands, I investigate the function of literature within the social contexts from which it emerged. My doctoral thesis was an investigation of the genre of Victorian governess novels (1999; LUP 2001); my post doc project (RJ 2000-2002) focused on 19th-century self-improvement issues such as 'time management' and 'punctuality' in fiction and didactic literature; and in a more recent project (Swedish Research Council 2013-2016) I investigated the Swedish translation of British social-reform literature in 19th-century Sweden with a focus on how British texts on the woman question, popular education, and prostitution were translated into Swedish.

Together with Ellen Turner I currently work on a project about teaching and learning in 20th-century popular genre fiction.

I also collaborate with colleagues on research and pedagogical development in the area of academic writing in English.
