About
I am a final year research student and came to Kent having completed a BA Joint Hons in English literature and History at University College Cork, Ireland in 2007. I then undertook an MA in 'Dickens and Victorian Culture' in 2008, for which I received funding from the AHRC, before beginning my PhD in 2009. My thesis focuses on the relationship between concepts and constructions of Anglo-Irish national identity and the vampire in Victorian literature, with a special focus on J.S. Le Fanu's 'Carmilla' and Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'. Broadly speaking, my research interests include Victorian literature and culture, nineteenth-century Anglo-Irish writing, with a particular focus on writings of the Anglo-Irish diaspora, and the Gothic, and I also teach in the areas of Romanticism and Critical Theory.
