Writer and researcher

My research spans British literature, medical humanities, and emotions from the seventeenth century to the present day. My specialisms are eighteenth-century poetry, solitude, and the literature of grieving.

I have written for museums and research centres, spoken on international radio, and presented podcasts about everything from the history of loneliness, solitude during COVID-19, to the use of poetry in medical diagnoses.
