Accepting PhD Students

PhD projects

I have supervised a number of PhD students on a wide range of topics. I welcome applications from PhD students in any of my areas of interest, especially the following:

words/music relations (including aesthetics, translation, adaptation, and performance)
poetry and poetics (especially nineteenth-century French, and metre, accentuation, versification)
voice/performance in relation to literary texts
the role of digital media in researching texts and performances (music, theatre, readings)

My previous PhD students include:

Armelle Blin-Rolland (Bangor, awarded 2011): ‘Back and Forth between Written and Spoken: Studies of transposed voices in Céline’s Voyage au bout de la nuit, Queneau’s Zazie dans le métro and their Adaptations’
Sven Greitschus (Bangor, awarded 2016): ‘Baudelaire’s Prose Poetry’
Eleanor Hodgson (Sheffield, awarded 2015): ‘Reflections of writing, rewriting, and reading in twelfth-century French literature: A study of Guillaume de Palerne as a self-reflexive romance’
Gemma Wheeler (Sheffield, 2014-2016): ‘Geffrei Gaimar's Estoire des Engleis: subtexts, politics, kingships’
