My research interests range from Romantic, Anglophone-Caribbean, to African American literature. 

My work in Romanticism focuses on the interface between radical and dissenting culture, and literary texts in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In addition, I explore the ways writers like William Blake respond to and interpret artistically the political legacy of John Milton. I also examine the writings of Hannah More, situating her work within the broader context of loyalist responses to radical thought in the 1790s. I have published academic articles on Blake and More. I am currently working on a chapter on Blake’s The Four Zoas.

In terms of Anglophone Caribbean literature, I examine the ways authors explore the legacy of colourism/shadism through Caribbean Gothic tropes. I have published on the Jamaican author Marlon James. 

Other research interests include contemporary fiction. I’m currently working on the African American writer Colson Whitehead; and I work on Black British fiction.
