Research areas

Dr Hornsby's research scrutinises the interplay between scientific medicine, public health anxieties, and nineteenth-century literary culture. One key research strand concerns animal experimentation, and she has published on the subject in The Journal of Victorian Culture and Victorian Review. Her monograph, The Pen and the Scalpel: Vivisection and Late Victorian Culture is forthcoming with Cambridge University Press (est. January 2025). 

A second major research strand, supported by a British Academy postdoctoral award (2024-26), concerns global seafaring and disease. She has an article forthcoming in the Review of English Studies which explores nautical metaphors in late-nineteenth century literary culture.
