Ruskin, Proust & Sebald: Romanticism, Composition & Autobiography

Research summary

My current research is on Romanticism and autobiography in John Ruskin, Marcel Proust & W.G. Sebald, where I am examining their compositional aesthetics and vicarious forms of autobiography. My MLitt dissertation was on the Proustian sentence in Sebald’s Austerlitz, which I am in the process of editing for publication.
