Dissertation Title:

The Entangled Developments of J. H. Prynne’s Criticism and Recent Poetry


Biographical Information

I completed my BA in English at Pembroke College, Cambridge, followed by an MSt in English (1900-present) at Trinity College, Oxford, funded by the Oxford — Wordsworth scholarship in conjunction with a Clarendon Scholarship. My PhD research into J. H. Prynne’s poetics is supported by Pembroke and the Cambridge Trust.

 

Research Interests

I’m currently looking into the connections between the criticism and recent poetry (2016-present) of J. H. Prynne. As I work through the J. H. Prynne papers at the University Library, my particular foci are philology, science, and self-reference. I am also currently interested in the manuscripts of Virginia Woolf, the typescript-novels of Arno Schmidt, and the machine-assisted poetry of John Cage.
