Hanna Gabriella Miles

Hanna Gabriella Miles is a final year PhD candidate and Vistiting Tutor in English Literature. Her doctoral research explores the interplay between trauma and nostalgia in the fiction of Vladimir Nabokov, with a particular focus on temporality, memorialisation, and material objects as mediators of experience. She is currently completing her thesis, and in the process of developing her next project: an interdisciplinary theoretical re-imagining of the souvenir. Her work is primarily concerned with the ways in which vicissitudes of memory and responses to loss intersect with twentieth and twenty-first century material and consumer cultures. 

Hanna holds a Master of Arts degree in Modern and Contemporary Literature, Culture and Thought, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature, both from the University of Sussex. Her work has been published in the Slavonic and East European Review, with further items awaiting publication in the Modern Language Review and the Journal of American Studies.
