Aesthetic Perception and Embodied Cognition
Perspective
This essay reflects on the process I am leading within the Victorian Lives and Letters Consortium ( ) to create a scholarly edition of the diary of ‘Michael Field’ (Katharine Bradley and Edith Cooper). Situated in relation to a broader context of nineteenth-century manuscript digitization, it reflects both on the possibilities the digital environment offers for the study of manuscript life-writing, and on the timely and significant questions Brad…
The Lyric Poem
As a study of lyric poetry, in English, from the early modern period to the present, this book explores one of the most ancient and significant art forms in Western culture as it emerges in its various modern incarnations. Combining a much-needed historicisation of the concept of lyric with an aesthetic and formal focus, this collaboration of period-specialists offers a new cross-historical approach. Through eleven chapters, spanning more than fo…

'Michael Field'

The constructed life and work of 'Michael Field' is used here to deepen and complicate our u…

Robinson (1879) The command of words and felicity of phrase are as remarkable as the decorative, yet unconventional, qualities of form and colour, so unusual a merit in the handling of motives chosen from the antique. Throughout, the technique is large and modern. —Graham R. Tomson's review of Amy Levy's A…
An 'Uncomfortable Intersection
Simon Armitage defines his own position as a poet as on the border where urban and rural environments meet. I explore how the influence of this geographical location can be traced in Armitage's poetry, both in its content, and in its form. The paper ends with a consideration of Armitage's hybrid poetic voice and how this too reflects a borderland identity
