I hold a BA, M.Phil. and Ph.D. from Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and a PGCE from King's College, London. I have previously worked at the University of Cambridge, the University of St Andrews and the Institute of English Studies, University of London. I have held visiting fellowships at the University of Cambridge, Chawton House Library, and the Lewis Walpole Library, Yale University. I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
My research interests lie mainly in the fields of eighteenth-century and Romantic-period literature and print culture, in particular Jane Austen and the history of reading, although I also work on Mary Russell Mitford and Margaret Oliphant. In addition, I have wide-ranging interests in contemporary reading practices and eighteenth- and nineteenth-century library history. I have been a member of three AHRC research networks, the Digital Reading Network (http://www.digitalreadingnetwork.com/), the Community Libraries:Connecting Readers in the Atlantic World, c.1650-c.1850 Network (http://communitylibraries.net/), and the Institutions of Literature 1700-1900 Network (http://institutionsofliterature.net/). I am a member of the Royal Society of Edinburgh's network: The 1820s: Innovation and Diffusion. I also sit on the Management Board of the Reading Experience Database, 1450-1945 (http://www.open.ac.uk/Arts/reading/), and I was previously one of the Associate Editors of the Year's Work in English Studies.
I am the Principal Investigator of the £1million AHRC-funded 'Books and Borrowing: An Analysis of Scottish Borrowers' Registers, 1750-1830' project. https://borrowing.stir.ac.uk
With Emma Macleod, I co-direct the centre for Eighteenth-Century Studies at Stirling: https://www.stir.ac.uk/about/faculties/arts-humanities/our-research/eighteenth-century-studies/
