Who am I?
My name is Roslyn, and I am a lecturer in English Literature and Culture. My research focuses on
Ann Radcliffe, one of the most prolific writers of the Gothic. I am part of a Coastal Gothic Network
called Haunted Shores, helping to organise annual conferences and arrange monthly reading groups.
My recent publications include an article for the Polish Journal of English Studies and a chapter in the Routledge Introduction to Poetic Forms edited by Patrick Gill.
My interests include the following:
- The Gothic
- Eighteenth-century literary contexts
- Postcolonial approaches to literature
- Poetic Form
- Archival research
What do I teach?
Each semester I do a combination of the following classes:
- PS115 (Introduction to English Literary Studies)
- PS122 (Poetry)
- Seminar 313 (Gothic Foundations in the Eighteenth Century)
- Seminar 410 (Gothic Continuations in the Nineteenth Century)
- Cultural Studies IV (Cornwall, from the Tin Mines to the Tourism Industry)
- Cultural Studies I (Survey of the History of Britain)
What theses do I supervise?
At present, I advise on bachelor’s theses related to the Gothic. I am also interested in supporting projects on speculative fiction, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literature and aesthetics.
