Teaching Fellow in American Literature, University of Leicester
My PhD is in American literature, specifically the work and career of contemporary author Cormac McCarthy. Since completing my PhD, I have written on Marilynne Robinson, Jaime Hernandez, and Emily St John Mandel.
My current research focus is on literary editing, publishing, and awards culture in the twentieth century through a case study of the work and career of Random House author Albert Erskine. My most recent article examines Erskine's work with Ralph Ellison on Invisible Man, and future articles will draw on archival material to explore Erskine's work with Malcolm Lowry, William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, and Cormac McCarthy.
