- Idleness and Aesthetic Consciousness, 1815-1900 (CUP, 2018) reconstructs a series of interconnected debates over the functions of idleness, repose, labour and aesthetic consciousness taking place across nineteenth-century British culture. Its interdisciplinary methodology connects discourses such as political economy, social commentary, meditative poetry, cultural theory, vampire fiction and psychoanalysis, and represents the product of ten years’ research. This substantial project (248pp) was supported by research fellowships at the Universities of Freiburg and Edinburgh, and by a year-long Leverhulme Research Fellowship.
