Imagining Gender in Biographical Fiction
This volume addresses the current boom in biographical fictions across the globe, examining how gendered lives of the past are re-imagined in fiction.
Engagement of undergraduate STEM students
This study describes an intervention that introduced a period of solving non-routine problems into tertiary STEM lectures. The aim was twofold: to attempt to increase student engagement and to introduce them to the kind of domain-free abstract reasoning that involves critical, creative and innovative thinking. The study involved over 600 STEM participants in five lecture classes from three tertiary institutions. The results show that a style of l…

Screening Clara SchumannBiomythography, Gender, and the Relational Biopic Julia Novak (bio) Clara Schumann, née Wieck, is known today as one of the most distinguished concert pianists of European Romanticism, a major influence on the development of the nineteenth-century piano recital, and a renowned piano teacher and composer.1 She is also remembered as one half of a famous musical couple, and as the subject of a secret romantic courtship and a …
Effectiveness, efficiency, engagement
Our study addresses a systemic issue facing higher education – a lack of rigorous educational research alongside new technology-assisted ways of teaching and learning. The issue highlights the disciplinary disconnect as many academics do not research outside their discipline, yet are tasked with educational modernisation through trying out new educational technology. Addressing this issue, we present our conceptual framework, the course transacti…
Performing Black British memory
Since the 1990s, Black British poets have been at the forefront of developing the "one-person poetry show" or spoken-word play, an apt format for negotiating diasporic history and cultural memory in a public arena. The focus of this article is Kat François's one-woman show Raising Lazarus (2009/2016), which stages the poet's own quest for information about her Grenadian relative Lazarus François, a World War I soldier. A media-specific analysis e…

The introduction to this special issue on ‘Life Writing and Celebrity’ outlines the numerous shared concerns of life-writing scholarship and celebrity studies as two of the currently most vibrant fields of cross-disciplinary Humanities research. Providing summaries of the individual contributions and highlighting the connections between them, it points towards the valuable insights to be gained from initiating a more rigorous theoretical and meth…
Lucia Boldrini, Autobiographies of Others
Feminist to Postfeminist
Biographical novels about historical women artists have been experiencing a veritable boom in recent years. Written mostly by women, they can be understood as women authors' attempts to reach out across time (and often, space) to other "artistic" women whose lives "speak to us" today. It has long been a key insight of historical fiction research that a historical novel reveals more about the time in which it was written than the time in which it …

Rais'd from a Dunghill, to a King's Embrace’
Nell Gwyn (1650–1687), one of the very early theatre actresses on the Restoration stage and long-term mistress to King Charles II, has today become a popular cultural icon, revered for her wit and good-naturedness. The image of Gwyn that emerges from Restoration satires, by contrast, is considerably more critical of the king's actress-mistress. It is this image, arising from satiric references to and verse lives of Nell Gwyn, which forms the focu…
The Notable Woman in Fiction
Drawing on gender-sensitive approaches to biographical fiction, this article examines fictional representations of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, from Carola Oman's Miss Barrett's Elopement to Laura Fish's Strange Music. With a focus on their depiction of her profession, the novels are read as part of the poet's afterlife and reception history
