I specialise in twentieth century anglophone literature, with a particular focus on James Joyce, Virginia Woolf and T. S. Eliot. I recently published a monograph on Joyce, which situates the short, enigmatic texts he called “epiphanies” in relation to their Classical, Biblical and Romantic forbears (Panepiphanal World, Florida University Press, 2020), and I am currently co-editing a new edition of Joyce’s epiphanies. My current research project, funded by the FNS, investigates a series of surprising filiations between the rise of formal logic and the radical innovations of modernist literature, considering how logic impacted Anglophone literature in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
