Research interests:
I am currently a PhD student at the University of Edinburgh. My current project examines the influence of different forms of Anglican Christianity on novelists of the mid-nineteenth century. This involves comparing the influence of the Scottish Episcopal Church in the works of Catherine Sinclair to the influence of the United Church of England and Ireland in the works of Charlotte Brontë. My research interests in general are 18th-Century and 19th-Century Women Novelists, Early Feminism in Literature, Religion in Literature, Christianity in Literature, and Anglicanism in Literature.
