RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research interests are in intellectual and cultural history, and the history of political thought in Britain during the long nineteenth century. My approach is interdisciplinary and my thesis ‘English Liberal Culture and the Italian Question, c. 1850-1918' analyses the Victorian debate on the Risorgimento in a range of different sources, including political tracts, popular fiction and historical writing. Key themes of my work thus include; the entanglement of nineteenth and twentieth century European nationalisms, historiography, the relationship between literature and politics and the role of gender in the shaping of national and European identities.
