Research interests
My doctoral research examined Virginia Woolf’s relationship with tragedy, heroism, and creativity through the lens of the ancient Greek literature she studied and read.
In broad terms, I am interested in frameworks of classical reception in 20th century literature, grief and trauma studies, and processes of memory and creativity.
