Research Projects Undertaken

I am a specialist in the classical tradition in nineteenth-century British art with research interests in the reception of ancient art in the traditions of painting from the Renaissance to Modernism and in the modern popular cultural medium of film. My academic training is grounded in classical art and archaeology while my approach is interdisciplinary and draws on art history, cultural studies, social history, gender theory and film theory.
