Biography
I am a graduate of Cambridge University, where I studied for my BA and PhD and was a lecturer at Christ’s College before coming to King’s in 2000.
Research interests and PhD supervision
- Literature and visual art
- Surrealism
- Art theory
- Twentieth-century French literature
- Avant-gardes
My research interests are in 20th- and 21st-century literature, visual art and theory. I am the author of a book on surrealism and politics and am currently writing another on casts, imprints and traces in modern and contemporary art. I offer research supervision in the fields of modern French literature (particularly modernism and the avant-garde), critical theory and text-image relations.
For more details, please see my full research profile.
Teaching
My teaching focuses mainly on 19th- and 20th-century French literature, including a final-year course on Proust and an MA module on inter-war avant-gardes in France. I also teach translation.
Expertise and public engagement
I am happy to speak on surrealism and on aspects of modern French literature and visual art. I was a judge of the 2012 Scott Moncrieff prize for translation into English from French: http://www.societyofauthors.org/scott-moncrieff-past-winners
