Research interests

My main research interests lie in the areas of international modernism and the avant-garde, classical reception, theory, visual art approaches, travel, and film

I am the co-editor of Modernism: An Anthology of Sources and Documents, The Edinburgh Dictionary of Modernism (both published by Edinburgh UP), and General Editor of the Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernism. I have published widely on modernism, Hellenism, theory and on international and transcultural encounters (incl. most recently on Proust, Sebald, Woolf, Joyce, Conrad, H.D., Freud, Rhys, Benjamin, Brecht, Cavafy, Derrida, Heidegger and Spark). In recent years, I have edited Special Issues on New Queer Greece, the bicentenary of the 1821 Greek Revolution (for the Journal of Greek Media and Culture), and Muriel Spark (for Textual Practice), as well as the poetry and correspondence of the Greek-American Surrealist poet and art historian Nicolas Calas. I have also written on film and on the theoretical and literary work of Julia Kristeva. I am currently at work on a number of projects, including a monograph on modernism and Hellenism, two essays on the Scottish Philhellenes Edward Masson and Isabella Fyvie Mayo, and an essay collection on Isadora Duncan and modernism.
