Personal profile
Research overview
My research focuses on the intersection between genre, socio-politics, and the publishing industry, specifically within interwar British crime fiction. My work aims to destabilise popular conceptions of genre through close readings and an emphasis on literary production, dissecting the canon in order to bring forgotten authors – such as John Dickson Carr, Anthony Berkeley Cox, Richard Hull, and Anthony Rolls – to the fore.
