Research interests:
I am interested in literary biography, with particular reference to the Victorian and Edwardian period but also the Romantic poets. I take a feminist perspective and recover women's history. I am author of Wilde's Women: how Oscar Wilde was shaped by the women he knew (Duckworth Overlook, 2015) and my new biography, The Life and Loves of E. Nesbit, will be published by Duckworth (UK) and Abrams (US) in October 2019.
