About
I am a part-time tutor at the University of Sheffield and I teach for the WEA.
My thesis focuses on literary Impressionism in Dorothy Richardson’s Pilgrimage, and how visuality and visibility affect Richardson’s development and portrayal of her autobiographical self in fiction. My research covers the influence of Henry James, Joseph Conrad and Goethe, Richardson's adoption of and development of the ‘impression’, visual memory (Proust and Bergson), performance and self-fashioning, surveillance and blinding, and the complexities and politics of narrativising a life.
