I am a lecturer in Early Modern Literature in the Department of English and Creative Writing at the University of Exeter, having previously taught at the University of Manchester, Lancaster University, and Liverpool John Moores University.

My main research interests include: early modern literature and breath; bodies and embodiment; history of emotions; affect; sighs and groans; devotional writing; material culture.

Research supervision:

I would welcome enquiries from prospective students interested in early modern literature, esp. religious writing, the history of emotions, bodies and embodiment, air and breath in literature. I am also keen to hear from students interested in engaging with affect theory, the medical humanities, and interdisciplinary research.
