Research interests
My research interests are in the history of British art and visual cultures 1850-1950. My doctoral research focussed on representations of reverie in British art, 1848-1890. Reverie had a notable currency in Victorian art, yet its significance has largely been overlooked by art historians. I examine the functions of reverie and contend that its semantic flexibility was seized on by artists in order to expand conventional expectations of narrative.
