Personal Statement
My research interests focus on the Gothic, particularly the Early Gothic (1764 - 1833) and the Queer Gothic to the present day. I focus on literature and theology, women's writing and the long eighteenth centuries predominantly. I also research and teach on modern genre fiction and film, particularly romance, the Gothic and horror.

Research Overview
My research focuses on the period of the early British Gothic from 1764 - 1833. I look at the intersections between theology and literature in the Gothic including theo-politics, theo-aesthetics and the theologies of the supernatural. I also conduct research into the modern Gothic romance and Queer romance.
