Research interests
I am a collaborative PhD student based jointly at Bristol and the British Library. My research examines the role of Michael Hamburger (1924-2007) in the reception of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century German literature in the English-speaking world, particularly as revealed in the British Library’s archive of his papers.
Hamburger's source literature (Goethe, Kleist, Novalis), as well as its English counterpart (above all Coleridge, Clare, and Blake), coincide with my wider interest in Anglo-German cultural relations in this period. My research also brings me into contact with theories of translation, the archive, and material texts.
