- Lecturing the Atlantic (OUP, 2017) reclaims the popular lecture as a paradoxical icon of nineteenth-century Atlantic modernity. Drawing upon extensive archival research in the UK and the US, and the methods of cultural history, media archaeology and literary criticism, it shows how, on both sides of the Atlantic, reformers, authors and their audiences transformed a cultural practice with origins in the medieval university into a dynamic medium of public life. The book (264pp) deepens our understanding of nineteenth century performance culture, newspaper history, and the emergence of modern celebrity, and provides the basis for a recent major AHRC award.
