Research
Victorian literature, (especially poetry); 19th century non-fictional prose; painting and photography; visual perception the 19th century; photography theory.
I have supervised a large number of D.Phil theses to successful completion and many of my students have gone on to successful academic careers. I welcome enquiries and applications from potential research students in all aspects of 19th century literature, photography and the visual arts and especially those that cut across established disciplines.
