Accepting PhD Students

PhD projects

I supervise PhD students on a range of literary and cross-disciplinary subjects, some with AHRC M4C funding. I have recent postgraduate research projects completed on confessional writing in the Romantic age, a trans-historical study of the literary reception of Samuel Johnson, and an examination of Gaelic, Latin and English Jacobite writing in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. I have ongoing projects on scriptural allusion in the novels of Samuel Richardson and Henry Fielding, and on the Gothic seascape. Projects commencing include studies of influence of classical philosophy on Romantic poetry, and Anglo-Scottish verse in the Romantic period.

I welcome applications for post-graduate research supervision in the following areas:

Eighteenth-century and Romantic period literature and culture
Eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century Scottish literature and culture
Utopian and Dystopian literature
History of Aesthetics
