Personal profile
Research interests
My main research interests concern readers, readership and reception, the evolution of genre, participatory culture, and multi-modal narratives from the 19th century to the present. I am currently investigating these issues in the specific context of Victorian Nonsense. Recently, I have also developed an interest in the interaction between botany, geography, horticulture, flower symbolism, and Victorian genre writing.
