About

My research specialization is Victorian literature and culture. I am particularly interested in illustration and visual culture, religion, gender, textual criticism (scholarly editing), and the production of culture-texts (texts, such as Dickens’s A Christmas Carol and Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, that are collectively known and “remembered” when the original works have not been read).

I am completing for Oxford University Press a SSHRC-funded monograph on the illustration and adaptation of Hardy’s novels, Visual Hardy: Imaging Gender and Genre. Other projects include the Cambridge Hardy edition of Jude the Obscure and a study of Hardy’s creative process as a poet.

I have supervised Victorianist postdoctoral, Ph.D., M.A., and Honours research on a wide variety of topics, including: listening as ecological encounter in Hopkins; Barrett Browning’s languages of resistance; Hardy and the blush; the transatlantic politics of art; Victorian spiritualism; Dickens and psychology; Christina Rossetti’s theology; the visualization of disordered eating in Victorian children’s literature; adaptations and revisionings of Dickens, the Brontës, and George Eliot.

I received my B.A. from the University of Victoria, my M.A. from the University of Toronto, and my D.Phil. from the University of Oxford. At UBC I was a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow and then a Killam Postdoctoral Fellow before taking up a faculty position.

I have been awarded a Killam Research Prize and a Killam Teaching Prize, and am a Distinguished University Scholar.
