- As a long-form output, this 299pp. monograph on the rich and complex global afterlife of Dickens’ Great Expectations from 1860–2012 demonstrates sustained research effort through its engagement with hundreds of sources across different international contexts and cultural/ linguistic perspectives. It considers how the novel was marketed, pirated, and transformed for the stage from the 1860s, adapted for the new media of radio, TV, and film in the 20th century, and translated and rewritten in both the colonial and postcolonial worlds. The 6-year research process involved a lengthy period of archival data collection, supported by an AHRC fellowship.
