About

My scholarly interests are Victorian literature and the novel. I am particularly interested in gender politics as well as the endless warring discourses in what I see as the Victorians attempts to construct a grande narrative when even the pretense of a grande narrative is no longer possible (no matter how carefully many of the philosophers and thinkers and the general public tried to categorize, hierarchize and label their world). I do so love the modern novel as well. I also love the stage and am an amateur actor. I am interested in just about everything that makes me take pause and think or allows me to escape my daily existential crisis (thus, I do not like musicals or grading composition papers).
