- A Leverhulme Doctoral Award and Marc Fitch Publication Grant supported the production of this 120,000-word monograph, which redefines classical reception in popular culture as active remaking rather than secondary distortion. Via extensive and prolonged archival research across multiple sites, it involved the construction of a vast and varied corpus comprising newspaper articles, maps and topographies, travel journals and guides, theatrical scripts and ephemera, fiction, poetry and visual art. Drawing on methodological developments from disciplines such as History of Science and Theatre History enabled detailed analysis of archival materials and ephemeral sources, including a thorough critical framework for understanding classical burlesque.
