PhD Eighteenth Century studies, literature of sensibility, physiology of the sensible body, physiology and pathology of emotion through historical perspectives,
Loughborough
I work in the intersection of the fields of literature, physiology and writings on eighteenth-century moral sense. I focus especially on the emotions of anger, envy and resentment as they articulate affinities between the workings of the body, questions of ethics and gender and greater metaphors of societal harmony or strife.
I was recently awarded a Medical Humanities Small Grant by the Wellcome Trust in order to study the physiology of envy from a historical perspective.
