I am a literary scholar specialising in non-traditional and non-canonical genres, such as the diary, autobiography, biography, letters and newspapers and I am particularly interested in writing that challenges generic boundaries. My doctoral research focused on the intersection between the public and the private in Victorian writers’ diaries. Subsequently, I have studied the use of private narrative in the biographical construction of Victorian celebrities in the press, friends’ reminiscences and official biographies.
My current project is again situated at the interface between literary text and press discourse. It analyses the representations of industry in Luxembourgish literature 1900-1940, positing the “industrial aesthetic” as a metaphor for societal and artistic modernisation. I teach classes in Luxembourgish literary studies.
