Hello, new followers! I'm bad at social media, but I'm excited to make so many new connections. I'm an educator and scholar based at Uni Hamburg. I focus on 18C and 19C British literature (but I'm really a 'generalist'). I'm into economic literary criticism and new formalism. I also teach EFL.

“this nameless mode of naming the unnameable is rather good”

I wanted to send this one around again in case someone missed it the first time. We are looking forward to a fantastic event.
