- Light Touches, a 176-page monograph, is a complex piece of extended research that investigates how emerging practices of illumination shaped the perceptual world of nineteenth-century British culture. It makes a sustained contribution to a number of disciplinary fields and, in so doing, offers an innovative reframing of the cultural, intellectual, and aesthetic history of light across the period. It required extensive use of archival material (Yale Centre of British Art, the Getty Institute, the Winterthur Museum, British Library collections and Garrick Theatre Archive).
