Her first book, Romantic Women Writers and Arthurian Legend: The Quest for Knowledge was published in 2017, and explores how women?s encounters with and imaginative responses to the Arthurian legend were affected by issues of censorship, abridgement, translation, and access to books. She recently recieved Carnegie funding for her new project on mermaids in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literature. She is currently the reviews editor for Romanticism.

She also has interests in medievalism in Romantic and Victorian literature more broadly, and in reception history, book history and adaptation. She has written chapters and articles on Mary Wollstonecraft, Anne Bannerman, Louisa Stuart Costello, Charlotte Yonge, and Dinah Mulock Craik. She welcomes enquiries from potential research students in any of the above areas.
