Professor in Victorian English, English

Biography

I was born in County Mayo and educated in Trinity College, Dublin, and University College Dublin. I have taught at Trinity College Dublin since 2006. My research focuses on the literature and culture of Victorian Britain and Ireland, though I also have a longstanding interest in eighteenth-century Ireland, especially the history and pre-history of Gothic literature on this island. To date, I have written six monographs. Two have focused on Oscar Wilde: The Faiths of Oscar Wilde (Palgrave, 2005); The Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde (Ashgate, 2007). Three examine different aspects of Gothic literature: Gothic Ireland (Four Courts Press, 2005); Gothic Literature, 1825-1914 (University of Wales Press, 2009); The Emergence of Irish Gothic Fiction (Edinburgh University Press, 2013). I have also edited four collections of essays: Oscar Wilde (Irish Academic Press, 2010); Bram Stoker (Four Courts Press, 2013); Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, with Valeria Cavalli (Peter Lang, 2016); Irish Gothic: An Edinburgh Companion, with Christina Morin (Edinburgh University Press, 2024). I also organized two major international symposia in Trinity College on Bram Stoker (2012) and Sheridan Le Fanu (2014). Prior to my appointment to Trinity College, I was Lecturer in Victorian Literature in Keele University, Staffordshire (2004-05). I have also lectured in Irish Studies, in both Ireland (in University College Dublin) and Canada (at the University of Toronto), I am convenor of the Senior Fresh module in Victorian Writing. Much of my teaching involves the study of popular literature, including Victorian Gothic and Victorian children's literature, and I am particularly interested in the intersection of religion and literature, the popular romance, the discourse of the child in literature and culture, and Gothic and horror in all their manifestations.

My research focuses on the literature and culture of Victorian Britain and Ireland, though I also have a longstanding interest in eighteenth-century Ireland, especially the history and pre-history of Gothic literature on this island. At the moment, I am writing articles on theology and Irish Anglican gothic fiction, the relationship between Ireland and Oscar Wilde, plants in The Picture of Dorian Gray, and true life crime fiction in the eighteenth century. I have supervised PhDs in many areas, including: Thomas Hardy and the Law; Theodicy and the Victorian Novel; Cannibalism in Twentieth Century Culture; Beauty and the Nineteenth-Century Novel; Sheridan Le Fanu and Female Insanity; Christmas in Early Nineteenth-Century British Literary Culture; Islands in Contemporary Popular Culture; Food in the Children's Literature of Roald Dahl; American Versions of Cinderella; Jane Austen and Fan Fiction; Sheridan Le Fanu and Settler Gothic; Dead Children in the work of Charles Dickens; Extraordinary Bodies in the work of Wilkie Collins
