- Mimicry and Display in Victorian Literary Culture: Nature, Science and the Nineteenth-Century Imagination (CUP 2020) reveals previously unrecognised intersections between Victorian science, literature and art by tracing the spread of concepts of non-human mimicry, crypsis and display. Based on extensive research across numerous archival collections, this substantial monograph (308pp) draws on a wide range of literary material to show that the challenge of representing and evidencing adaptive appearance profoundly blurred the boundaries between science and art. The underpinning research was supported by the award of a Leverhulme early career Fellowship (2014) and a prestigious 3-year Philip Leverhulme award (2016).
