Profile

I took my undergraduate degree and my M. Phil. at Mansfield College, Oxford, and my D. Phil. at St Hugh’s College, Oxford. My doctoral project, supervised by Marilyn Butler and Paul Hamilton, was on the novels of William Godwin and his followers, Charles Brockden Brown, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (Godwin’s daughter), and Edward Lytton Bulwer. I spent twenty-five years at Durham University, where I was successively Lecturer, Reader, and Professor. In 1999-2000 I was a member of the inaugural class of Fellows at the New York Public Library's Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers (directed by Peter Gay). I was awarded a three-year Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship (2007-10), and have held Visiting Fellowships at, among other places, All Souls College, Oxford, and Wadham College, Oxford. I was the recipient of the Keats-Shelley Association of America Distinguished Scholar Award for 2016. I am a Supernumerary Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford, a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, and a Fellow of the English Association. I arrived at Queen Mary in 2015.
