3.5 years and 90,719 words later, I finally passed my DPhil English viva with no corrections last week! I'm immensely grateful to my lovely examiners Prof Alexandra Harris and Prof Matthew Bevis, my supervisor Prof Kate McLoughlin, and my friends who organised a celebratory dinner afterwards ๐Ÿ’—

At last, my paper from the 2022 Woolf conference is out (open access!): open.clemson.edu/vwoolfselect...
