- Double-weighted statement
- This monograph explores the presence of the literary letter in late twentieth-century literature and consider how authors used epistolary conventions to create dialogue across national, linguistic and cultural borders. It is derived from doctoral research at the University of Cambridge and was completed in two years of postdoctoral research, the last of which carried out through a Cheney Fellowship at the University of Leeds. It draws on material at the British Library (John Berger archive) and the British Postal Museum and Archive.
