Research Interests
My research interests focus upon the visual, material and literary cultures of Pre-Raphaelitism, Aestheticism, Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau and early Modernism in Britain and the often complex interweaving of ideas and artistic practices espoused by artists, designers, writers and reformers in Britain, Europe and America during the second half of the 19th and the early 20th century. I am especially interested in notions of interiors and interiority, including the relationship between visual and material culture and spiritual and sensory experience. I also have a particular interest in 19th and early twentieth century occultism and esotericism and the relationship between these ideas and visual and material culture.
