Research interests

My research is on literature and print culture in North America and Britain in the early to mid twentieth century. I have specialisms in:

  • Periodical Studies
  • Modernism and Middlebrow Culture
  • Canadian Studies
  • Literature and the ocean liner

Ocean Liners

My current project is called "Ocean Modern" and will be funded by an AHRC Research, Development and Engagement fellowship from August 2023.  I'm investigating the powerful symbolism and contested meanings of the ocean liner in twentieth-century literature. I'm also exploring the liner as a space for literary activity: looking at reading and writing afloat, as well as on-board libraries, bookshops and printing presses.

So far I've published two articles emerging from this research: one in Symbiosis: Transatlantic Literary and Cultural Relations 24 (2020), accessible on my academia.edu page, and one in British Journal of Canadian Studies 35.1 (2023). I am lead supervisor for a PhD project on "Ocean Liners: Cultures of Promotion", funded by a Lord Kelvin Adam Smith studentship. Here is a blogpost I wrote in July 2020 about the RMS Olympic arriving in New York, 100 years earlier, and I posted an image of my archive work on the RSE website. 

I have given several talks on ocean liners, including at the Charing Cross Rotary Club (on the RMS Queen Mary), at Nottingham Trent University's Periodicals and Print Culture Research Group (Nov 2020; recording available: follow link and go to bottom of the page), at the King's Maritime History seminar (recording available), at a public event at the V&A, at the International Port and Maritime Studies Network 2020 conference, in the Transatlantic Literary Women series at Glasgow, at the British Association for Modernist Studies 2019 and 2022 conferences, the Scottish Maritime History conference and elsewhere.   In connection with my interest in maritime heritage, I am a member of the Education and Tourism Sub-Committee of the Friends of the TS Queen Mary, and a Trustee of the Unicorn Preservation Society.

Editions

I have recently completed an edition of a 1929 novel, The Young May Moon, by Canadian-American-Norwegian author Martha Ostenso. The project was funded by a Carnegie Trust Research Incentive Grant, and the book is published by Borealis Press. I wrote the Introduction for a new edition of Margaret Kennedy's WWII memoir Where Stands a Wingèd Sentry, published by Handheld Press in March 2021. Here is a video of the book launch. I also spoke at a public event on Kennedy organised by English P.E.N. I am a member of the Textual Editing Lab at the University of Glasgow.

Monographs

In 2016 I published my sixth monograph, Modernism's Print Cultures (Bloomsbury), with Mark Hussey. My previous books include two prize-winning monographs, Sophistication: A Literary and Cultural History (2010), winner of the European Society for the Study of English (ESSE)'s biannual book prize in English Literature, and Literary Culture and Female Authorship in Canada (2003), winner of the International Council for Canadian Studies' Pierre Savard Award.

Middlebrow, Modernist, and Magazines Research

In 2008, I set up the AHRC Middlebrow Network, which now has over 400 members. Several of my later projects developed from the Network: for instance, "Magazines, Travel and Middlebrow Culture in Canada", funded by the AHRC, and involving collaboration with the Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory (CWRC). The book emerging from this project, co-authored with Michelle Smith, appeared in 2015. One of the talks, focusing on fashion and given at the Tailored Trades network event in Exeter, is available online. A related project that I was a CI on is "Modern Magazines Project Canada", led by Hannah McGregor and funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Hannah and I, with Paul Hjartarson, edited linked special issues of two journals on the topic of "Magazines and/as Media." The issue of English Studies in Canada is now available open-access. I also held a British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship (2015) for a project on "Noël Coward, Print Culture and Popularity", which was centred on themes of cutural hierarchy.

In 2022 I contributed to BBC Radio 4's "Front Row", talking about Walton and Sitwell's Facade (1922). Here's a blogpost that I wrote for Anthem Press on the topic of middlebrow, and one from 2020 for the "Circulating American Magazines" project, on "What is a mass-circulation magazine?" I contributed an entry on Cold Comfort Farm to the Crossed Lines online exhibition on telephones in literature.

I am co-editor of Palgrave's book series "Material Modernisms", and a member of the University of Glasgow's 'Modernism, Avant-Garde and Twentieth-Century Literature and Culture' research cluster. I am a patron of the International Magazine Centre.

Supervision

I am available to discuss potential PhD or masters projects in Canadian or American literature (especially of the early 20th century), middlebrow culture, periodicals, or maritime topics. 

I am currently first supervisor for Eamonn Connor's interdisciplinary project on ocean liners and leisure cruising (with Art History and Marketing). I am second supervisor for Kari Sund, working on the Hollywood novel, and Nadia-Terese Laguna Franks, working on post-truth fiction.

I have supervised 9 PhDs to completion as lead supervisor. Most recently, at Glasgow, I supervised Alexandra Abletshauser, working on Canadian fiction in the 19th and early 20th centuries. At the University of Strathclyde, where I worked from 2007 to 2017, I was lead supervisor for David Rush, for a PhD on Nancy Mitford; Rachael Alexander, working on American and Canadian women's magazines of the 1920s; Zhen Liu, with a project on Asian-Canadian Literature; and Sarah Galletly, whose thesis was on work, class and gender in turn-of-the-century Canadian writing.

In my previous positions at Cardiff University and the University of Liverpool, I supervised projects on British women's writing of the 1930s (West, Jameson, Holtby), Canadian historical fiction; the single woman in interwar fiction; and witches in 20th-century literature.

Teaching

My teaching specialisms include American and Canadian literature, modernist literature, and periodical studies.

I regularly teach a course on "Canadian Literature" that is available to Senior Honours or M.Litt students, and a block of seminars on the core course for the "American Modern Literature" masters degree.

At Masters level, I contribute to the "Modernities" core course and the "Encountering Environments" course. At Junior Honours, I have contributed to teaching on Modern Literature I: 1890-1945; American Literature I and II; and the "Readers" section of the core course. I have taught on Pre-Honours courses 2a: Writing and Ideology and 1b: The Novel.

I have contributed teaching materials online to the Winifred Eaton Archive project and the MLA Commons.
